10. We already have a resident member who fills us in on the RCC's position on the subject

The "argument" boils down to protecting the same system of secrecy that has allowed the RCC to cover up an epidemic of child rape spanning at least several decades, and almost certainly thousands of years.

Meanwhile nobody gets the exemptions the RCC gets when it comes to mandatory reporting of child abuse. Not lawyers, not teachers, not mental health professionals, not doctors or anyone else. Yet somehow the very organization which is the most egregious and notorious about fostering a culture of child rape just needs to have their position explained?
