The outrage is rightfully targeted at the Catholic Church. I'm not sure if this was posted before, but it's worthwhile reading to understand why they are being targeted.
Quote:
The church agreed to pay $25 million for school survivors in a historic settlement in 2005. The deal obligated the church to make "best efforts," and launch a fundraising campaign similar to that of a university or hospital.


After seven years, less than $4 million had been raised nationally. The church's lawyers argued in a secret court hearing it had made those best efforts and a judge agreed, absolving the church of further fundraising. The results of the hearing were published months later.
Quote:
All other church denominations that were part of the settlement — Anglican, United, Presbyterian — paid their full shares years ago.

Meanwhile, they are blowing tens of millions on new and upgraded Churches everywhere, so it's not like they are short on money. The Catholic Church could stop these events, but they are more concerned about their finances than doing what is right and what they agreed too, then weaseled their way out of. So excuse me if I have trouble getting outraged over these symbols of horror being razed to the ground.
