Well, there is the question of the extent and practical nature of the 'compensation'. And, then of course, is the question of secrecy.  If a Diocese is at fault (which it acknowledges by the very fact of the compensation) in such a situation, the People of God have a right to know the pertinent facts of the extent of the abuse, the management or mismanagement of Diocesan personnel, and the Gospel-based level of the restoration of the child of God who suffered the abuse that the love of God requires.  Secrecy, of course, makes all of this impossible to accomplish.
