List of Catholic Church's cover up of their sex scandals

In 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety.

"When abusive priests are discovered, the response has been not to investigate and prosecute but to move them from one place to another. So there's total disregard for the victims and for the fact that you are going to have a whole new crop of victims in the next place. This is happening all over the world."

The investigation could not come at a worse time for Pope Benedict, who is desperately trying to mend the Church's relations with the Muslim world after a speech in which he quoted a 14th Century Byzantine emperor who said that Islam was spread by holy war and had brought only evil to the world.

[Pell contradicting his own admission, while Brisbane archbishop admits to secrecy clause.] SYDNEY (NSW) Australia: (ABC version) Catholic Archbishop of Sydney George Pell claims he made an honest mistake on Sixty Minutes last night about the confidentiality required of child sex abuse victims compensated by the church. Archbishop Pell told the program that two girls abused by a phedophile priest in Victoria were offered compensation that required them not to publicly disclose the details of their abuse.

Archbishop admits money offer, (BBC version); SYDNEY (NSW) Australia: Just days after angrily denying that he tried to cover up sexual abuse of children by priests, Sydney Catholic Archbishop George Pell has been forced to admit offering victims thousands of dollars, in a programme aired on Australian television on Sunday night. Dr Pell was presented with a copy of a letter sent on his behalf offering nearly $30,000 (50,000 Australian dollars) to the family of two women who had been sexually abused as children by a priest. Initially he denied that allegation, however later admitted an offer had been made. The parents were warned that if they did not accept it, any legal action they might take would be "strenuously defended" by the Church, the Associated Press news agency reported. -- British Broadcasting Corporation, "Bishop admits abuse money offer,"

My comment: Instead of excommunicating these priests as Apostle Saint Paul ordered his Christian brethen to removed from the Church who are fornicators and adulterers inside of it, the Catholic clergy bribed, hid the rapist priests to another place and protected them instead.

A clear proof that the Catholic Church is not of God or the continuation of First Century Christian Church.
