Should the Catholic Church be charged with conspiracy to commit sex offences against children?

Asked by JeffVader (5426points) March 18th, 2010

Over the last few years I’ve watched scandal after scandal unfold involving the Catholic Church covering up sex offences against children committed by its own people. There was the scandal in the US, & now most recently in Ireland where decades of sexual abuse against children was deliberately covered up. Only yesterday one Bishop admitted forcing children & their families to sign gagging orders in the 70’s & 80’s preventing them from going public. In my mind this constitutes a criminal conspiracy & the Catholic Church, as a whole, should be charged with this offence. What do you think?
