Why does the Catholic church have to pay for criminal priests?
Question by leatherbiker040: Why does the Catholic church have to pay for criminal priests?
Today I saw on TV an item about a lot of Roman Catholic churches in the US have to close down, because they have too much debts, because they have to pay for the child abuse the priests did. Why is it that the church has to pay for this? If I do something criminal my employer doesn’t have to pay for it? What is the official reason that this is handled differently?
