On a long term basis I don't see how the church can survive this. Obviously more people are going to come forward, and obviously the church cannot do anything to control the perverts they recruit for the priesthood. And the church refuses to reform to allow priests or nuns to be married.
So I think we will see the end of the church in the Northeast definitely if not in the whole US.
Why even give your money to an organization like this or put your children in it's care, if you know its going to enable perverts and pay off their victims. Why put YOUR children in HARMS way like this?

This is very bad all around.
I'll tell you why. It's because people are stupid and afraid. Especially the poor, who are the ones sending their kids here and giving the church their hard earned money. They believe anything the church says and believe that they are doing a good deed by sending their children there.
I was a cute kid in a Catholic school in Pennsylvania. I sometimes wonder why no priests diddled me...I could use a few $million.
Go in the church today and perhaps a pervert priest will sexually accost you as a senior. Then you could MeToo him. You could still get your few million.
Some of these priests will likely to a dog. You should go in a few Catholic Churches. You might luck out. Any sexual assault and you can get them for senior abuse.
I have very limited knowledge of religion, but as side from any lawsuits and criminal behavior, I believe shutting down churches is a huge loss for everyone. Even if people do not follow a religion, and even if un-safe activities have or have not occurred inside of churches, the churches are meant as a divine place to meet with yourself and form a healthy relationship with yourself.
Just because at this moment in history everyone is saying things like "the church is dead" or "Catholicism is dead", it is still very possible that in the near future people will wise up and begin to rediscover a new useful purpose for a spiritual clarity (or what have you).
Even if you harbor some bad vibes about churches or religions, it is incredibly important for us to keep churches. They are meant for being divine places to meet yourself better and take care of your mind body and spirit. Those churches are designed as divine places.
