I have a simple way of looking at this situation. In these cases where Ecclesiastical Law may conflict with Criminal or Civil Law (as generally exists in a state with reasonable Human Rights protection), then the Civil and Criminal Law takes precedence.

If the Church Authorities collude to cover up crimes, then it is reasonable to charge those so acting with conspiracy.
