Catholic order pays for Mexican priest’s sex abuse

$20,000 to four victims of sexual abuse is “chump change” for the Catholic Church. Of course, we are talking about Mexico here. Church leaders are not stupid – they pay their victims based on demographics. For example, they know they … Continue reading
