So, let’s say you’re a massively huge religious organization whose restrictive policies on sex and sexuality end up enticing your priests and members of authority to commence much buggerdry. This buggerdry of course is foisted upon helpless children, who keep quiet for fear of retribution (and probably because they felt they wouldn’t be believed if they came out with the truth). They keep this trauma hidden until they either come of age or their parents find out, and much court shenanigans ensue once the cat is out of the bag.
So now, you are faced with mounting lawsuits, both from people who want to cash in, and from those who honestly feel there is no other way to punish you other than hitting your wallet. So what do you? You could own up and take responsibility, or you can turn tail and run.
What WOULD Jesus Do?
Well according to the Catholic church, the answer is simple: turn tail and run of course! It protects your assets, makes sure no one gets a single red cent without going through arduous court processes that could take years, and as an added perk it halts all those embarassing lawsuits where all the details about what happened might leak out. What a nice solution.

That’s so completely and utterly wrong.
