The innocent until proven guilty thing is a given, however the cards are stacked against young victims of 'historical' crimes.
I understand being upset, but the world ain't perfect, so sometimes horrible crimes do happen.
...and yet the Catholic Church hierarchy did this consistently persistently and endemically to protect the reputation of a corrupt church.
Do you want to know the reason I get so angry about this?
It is because as an atheist who doesn't believe in the next life and God, in MY view they have got away with horrendous crimes against young people ( and some women) for decades and centuries scott free, due to this evil hypocritical criminal institution we call the Catholic Church.

but it's not a criminal institution as that's just you being biased against it as they do far more good in the world than bad as it's official teachings are good. so don't let the actions of a few make you think the entire thing is corrupt, it's not.
They do express concern about losing money that could otherwise go to educational and charitable activities.
Yeah, that's a good point.
because even if they gave a victim a million dollars... it's not really going to do much to help that person since it's just money(it's not going to cure that person of their suffering etc), but a million dollars can be quite beneficial to help a lot of others with charity etc.
1. The Catholic Church cannot be classified as good and moral when they systematically covered up sexual crimes for decades and centuries. At best it is hypocritical and self serving, putting its own reputation ahead of the suffering of those buggered or sexually assaulted by paedophile priests whose activities were known and were hidden covered up or moved, at worst, and I believe it to be criminally negligent and open to payouts to the victims who can somehow prove their cases..as in the case of George Pell.etc
2. It has been proven that it is a criminal institution in this wholesale coverup of criminals performing criminal behaviours.
