Tim, top o' the year to you & Yours....
I detect a flaw in your contention.
If, at all, the Catholic clergy is shielded, which is not true, from
prosecution,
in courts of law, for civil/criminal offences presumed commited, by the virtue
of the defrock-ation (re-cullotization?) by Benedict XVl, they are left to fend
for themselves.
So, where does any (further/continuing) shielding of the creatures lie.
They are, I would venture to say, as bare-assed as any of their alleged victims.
