Church tried to strike deal over abuse investigations. This was a national news station.?

Did anyone else se this on TV? I missed what kind of deal. so can anyone else who saw it comment ? Would you think a Church as big and supposed pure would have their name intertwine with this publicity. Why is the Church always attempting to sweep dirt under the carpet.?

Update:

Jiloth..I think ABC news is a very reliable source and it's not something they could fabricate. So much publicity for years and I am surprised your response. How many priests have been publicly revealed of sexual misconduct with young boys?

    News is mostly regional. We have had this stuff going on where I live. In fact the Catholic Church here was just pressured to release the names of about 34 priests who had sexually abused children. It really is outrageous. They are looking at possible criminal violations, and claims for civil damages will follow.

    The outrageous thing is also that church management tried to keep everything a secret, and never fixing the problems.

    They will need to settle each civil case, and it is going to cost the church big money to do so. Settling civil cases is not the same as sweeping it under the rug. Most cases are settled out of court.

    Sleazy priests have been screwing little boys for the past 1700 years.... it's just now that somebody has said something about it. So they have a LONG history of sweeping this under the rug.

    It would help if you had some information to back up your scandalous report that includes no links or video to support it.
