Simply put: Institutional Religion has done two things consistently....
1) Stick their heads in the sand and say "nyah, nyah, nyah..." until the problem goes away, or...
2) Pay out HUGE sums of cash when the problem doesn't disappear after using Step 1 (right, Cardinal Law?)
Somewhere, back at the very beginning of things in the Catholic Church, a mistake was made. More importance was attached to the messengers than to the message itself.
