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.
And I answered that point, and I'll repeat it. The diocese should apply to the Vatican for reimbursement. The Vatican needs to make good on any losses the diocese suffers, since it was Vatican policy they were carrying out.
As to the award (a million or whatever amount) to the victim, it is not expected to cure their psychological damage. It compensates the victim by curing the kinds of practical problems that can be solved by having enough money.
