Hate/Rage - "Vatican ordered bishops to... not report pedophile priests."

I'd been doing so well of late, mitigating my outrage and hate - reading but letting slide by all manner of abuse of authority and political malfeasance - but this, this... god how I detest them.  Under the veil of moral authority and righteousness, as god's representatives on earth...  evil bastards.

Vatican ordered bishops to protect and not report pedophile priests - Boing Boing:

"'A 1997 letter from the Vatican warned Ireland's Catholic bishops not to report all suspected child-abuse cases to police -- a disclosure that victims' groups described as 'the smoking gun' needed to show that the church enforced a worldwide culture of covering up crimes by pedophile priests.'
