The settlement, which means victims will receive more
than $1 million each, is the largest from the Catholic Church in recent years following many
cases in which victims sought financial compensation for suffering sexual abuse from priests.
This news comes out after the Vatican had said that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true
church and that Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation.
Yeah, right! That is a bold claim given that a series of widespread child sexual abuse had come from within the Roman Catholic church. In fact, sexual abuse by its Priests and Nuns actually goes back for hundreds of years. For centuries, the Roman Catholic church and its clergy were highly respected. Their behavior was considered beyond criticism by the vast majority of people within its "Christian" nation. The government and even the local police adopted a hands-off policy towards the Roman Catholic church. Though such charges of sexual abuse had been levelled against catholic priests in the past, they were quickly suppressed and covered-up.
