Emphasis mine. Sure there were elders and co-workers that could have done the right thing instead of ignoring their conscience.
Co-workers in the Recovery only need to look in the mirror what they didn't do in order to explain exodus and attrition within the Recovery.
Sure not all of them "aided and abetted illegal crimes", but a good majority didn't heed their conscience and ask questions.
Instead a good majority ignore their conscience and choose not to believe a sister like a Jo Castell, or other saints that have raised concern. Instead of looking into it, you're the problem is what they say. "Just cover the brother" is their attitude.
Whenever there are crimes committed within the recovery, don't defer the deacons, elders, co-workers to do the right thing. Law enforcement is not within their scope. We must be those who exercise due diligence to report crimes to law enforcement.
