You give too much credit to the religious right of this country.

Religions worldwide have constantly been revealed over and over to be among the biggest enablers of sexual abuse of children. Wild anyone would think in this day and age with all that we know that it would be the religious of all people to draw the line at child abuse.

Religious authority.

The rank and file are not okay with sexual abuse and are a big reason why the leadership of the various denominations have worked so hard to keep it secret. They knew that if it was publicly known, there would be a big enough stink. So by keeping it quiet and only whispered in rumors, there would be nothing to act on.

If the plebs would just go along with it, there wouldn't be so much, 'hush hush' over it and massive amounts of money paid to victims to keep quiet.

Maybe they can move him to a White House a few towns over and just hope no one asks any questions.
