Their credibility is at stake.
If the hierarchy cannot even adhere to the norms of justice with respect to the punishment of sex criminals and those who assist them, how can its pronouncements regarding moral theological issues of justice be trusted? If the same hierarchy tells the laity that they should not pursue justice through the use of force, how can some not think that the hierarchy is merely projecting its pusillanimity and cowardice as Christian teaching?
