Educate myself? Could you be a little more condescending please; no, well I guess some things are just not possible. Not too tough to find a Jesuit, went to HS at one of their schools up the street. Would you like to know what the take home message was from my years there?
"Honesty is not the best policy, particularly if telling the truth could do some injury to you."
It is a long story that I have even less interest in telling than you have in hearing. Sure, there are some great guys that are Catholic Priests or even Jesuits. One of my best friends has SJ after his name now and they are lucky to have him.
They are smart, with a lot of very high quality education, I concede that to you. A point I made earlier that is pretty much at the heart of this situation is this:
The only people(smart people, with a lot of very high quality education, remember?)who know the entire story were willing to settle out for $660 million. They did this to protect themselves from having to pay even more(which they would never do unless they fully expected they would have to pay more at trial), or letting the entire truth be known(which must be pretty egregious if it is worth that much to keep it out of the papers).
The Church took some extreme steps to cover this up for a long time, and have maintained this as their policy. Are y'all so naive that you think this problem stops with the big cash payment? If so, I have a bridge I would like to sell you.
