Iworked in a catholic "brothers" school for 27 years and saw cover ups of suspicious behaviour by religious on several occasions. However when I separated from my wife and then a year later began living with a woman (also separated) I was "asked" to resign as I did not meet the "moral code" of the church due to my senior position in the school.
