The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland covered up the sexual abuse of young people by priests over several decades in one diocese, a state probe concluded.
A 270-page report published on Tuesday details the Church's handling of 100 allegations of abuse against 21 priests dating back to the mid-1960s.

Concentrated in one diocese. A similar thing happened in the U.S., when some diocese were ravaged and others weren't. Why? Sickos don't typically operate in broad conspiracies. One, two, maybe three guys perpetrate horrible crimes by themselves. But sexual perversion has a way of attracting others and to perpetuate itself. I suspect the Irish diocese was more a case of homosexuality, just like the U.S. problem. Tainted with a dose of pedophilia, yes, but mostly, homosexuality.
