boink, you really don't seem to get it. Generally speaking, no criminals just turn themselves in out of the goodness of their hearts.
Either you're making a bad joke that's in poor taste or you really just don't get what I'm saying.
Assuming it's the latter, I'm not talking about the perpetrator, who in this scenario is a Catholic priest (who, by the way, is no more statistically significant to be a pedophile than the general population). What I'm talking about is the people who find out about that priest's actions after the fact. Where the Church has gotten into trouble in the past is that they've handled everything in house and not reported things to the authorities. That's no longer the case in every single diocese in the US. They have to report, both by law and by their own internal rules. That means that other priests (and nuns, for that matter) can, will and do file reports on other priests (and nuns).
Otherwise I don't see what you're talking about. Honestly, equating the Catholic Church with NAMBLA is offensive, and I'm not even a Catholic. I suppose I can be equally offensive, though, which looks like where this is headed.
