catastrophic financial failure is an appropriate punishment based on the egregious nature of the criminal enterprise involved in these transgressions.

Any organization that systemically enters into a felony conspiracy (hiding pedophiles and releasing them into different unsuspecting communities is indeed a conspiracy to cover up felony sex crimes) can be considered to have violated the RICO act. It would be especially appropriate for the catholic church to suffer that ignoble fate for the actions of the men who were charged with protecting the children they were teaching about their god.

Whenever any organization is engaged in widespread felonious activity it should expect to be destroyed legally at some point. Even the mob has learned that it can be harmed through long term prosecutions.
