"Most of the victims were boys; but there were girls too. Some were
teens; many were prepubescent. Some were manipulated with alcohol or
pornography. Some were made to masturbate their assailants, or were
groped by them. Some were raped orally, some vaginally, some anally. But
all of them were brushed aside, in every part of the state, by church
leaders who preferred to protect the abusers and their institution above
all."
The religious hierarchy of the Catholic Church – protect the top no matter the expense to anyone lower.
