Oddbean new post about login | logout The Catholic Church itself is far to wide an organization, just from a mere organizational view, for the whole to be in on the deal. It has a sixth of the global population, or thereabouts in its membership. I am the first to say there's corruption needing to be carved out like cancer, and you might be able to point to dioceses, maybe bishop's conferences, to be in on it, but you can't say the whole of the global Church is.
