With this, what is demonstrated is the connection that the government has with the church, to hide the acts of humanity that they commit and should also be involved, with the collection of some royalties by the church, to keep them silent.
The fact is that according to investigations, Vatican has paid in silence almost $ 4 billion in compensation to victims of child sexual abuse.
According to Jack and Diane Ruhl of the National Catholic Reporter, the Vatican has spent $ 3,994,797 on families to avoid being sued in court.
The figure is based on a three-month data investigation, which includes a review of more than 7,800 articles from the LexisNexis Academic and NCR databases and information from BishopAccountability.org.
The reports of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States were also used.
If the amount of money distributed was divided equally among the 197 dioceses of the United States. UU., Each one would get almost $ 20 million.
An incredible amount of cash from hardworking people who support the good faith and intentions of the Church is being used to cover up unfathomable crimes executed by priests.
In the early 1990s, a monk working at the Vatican opened to The New Yorker, admitting:
"You would not believe the amounts of money the church is spending to resolve these cases of priestly sexual abuse."
In 1992 dioceses of American Catholics, had given 400 million dollars to solve hundreds of cases of sexual abuse.
That was a shocking part of change then.
That figure has only increased exponentially since then.
The men who run the Vatican are very aware of the problem.
However, they refuse to provide justice.
When Pope Francis addressed hundreds of bishops on the subject, he said:
I realize how much the pain of recent years has weighed on you.
I have supported your generous commitment to provide healing to the victims, knowing that by healing them, we are also healed.
We are working to ensure that such crimes never recur.
His words of "generous commitment" only show how united the Church really is:
"More concerned about reputation than morality."
Said John Salveson, a 59-year-old Philadelphia businessman who was abused as a child by a priest .:
"The people I talked to were the people who moved the pedophiles to take advantage of the children."
THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN AUSTRALIA
The Australian Catholic Church paid more than 276 million local dollars (213 million US dollars or 200 million euros) to victims of pedophilia in response to complaints filed between 1980 and 2015, according to judicial sources.
These details were revealed by Gail Furness, the counselor counsel for the government Commission that studies the institutional response to sexual abuse of minors within public, social and religious organizations, at a hearing in Sydney this month focusing on cases of the Catholic Church.
Around 4,500 people have filed complaints about alleged incidents of child sexual abuse between the years of 1980 and 2015, although some of the crimes date back to the early 1920s, according to local broadcaster ABC. Furness explained that the payments include compensation, treatments and legal costs, among others.
The average payment was about 91,000 local dollars (70,162 US dollars or 66,110 euros) per case and the largest amount of disbursements were by the Christian Brothers. "This order made 763 payments, amounting to about 48.5 million dollars (37.4 million US dollars or 35.2 million euros)," said Furness.
The commission was established in 2012 to investigate the response of the authorities to cases of sexual abuse of minors committed in public, social, sports and religious institutions.
Last year the committee presented 99 recommendations to the authorities on how to care for victims, in addition to a compensation plan of 4,000 million Australian dollars (3,061 million US dollars or 2,845 million euros) financed by the centers where the victims were committed. abuses
On November 4, the Government of Australia announced that it will compensate each victim of sexual abuse committed in public and religious institutions of the country with up to 150,000 local dollars (114,850 US dollars or 107,000 euros).
A REFLECTION:
From my point of view, it is difficult to believe in the churches, motivated by the large number of crimes that occur in them and where it is difficult for us to believe in priests because with the facts worldwide we are told that we must have precaution When interacting with these people, there may not be many people involved, but the mere fact that the church commits these crimes is already an indication of doubting their words.

I hope this information is of your interest and that, in one way or another, you can contribute to the elimination of these abuses generated by churches and governments....
