Now why why why would the Catholic Church want to rush off to the Supreme Court and beg them to hide documents related to how they handled allegations of priests raping children?
I can't imagine why.
Probably because the documents would show what we already know. The church covered up the rapes and (in most cases) moved the rapist to another Parrish so he could continue to rape children undetected.
I know. Sounds harsh. But it is WHAT HAPPENED. Time and time again.
I hope the court tells the church to pound salt and give up the documents.
