Nobody said it wasn’t voluntary, just that it was impacted by the public’s understandable disgust over the rampant pedophilia the church enabled - and once that happened, suddenly the church is mustering its response.
Also quit dodging the question - why present it like it’s a common thing for the church to have done, when it’s happened once?
Less than three years for this first ever case…
perpetrated on vatican territory
I understand they only have jurisdiction in the Vatican, but your comment made it sound like it’s a more common thing than a one off occurrence.
Personally, I find it pretty telling that the church didn’t take the abuse seriously until they started bleeding followers, affecting their tithes.
the Church charges you? I think it heavily depends on your diocese or area but its voluntarily and doesnt literally have to be 10% of your income
