Re: US v Manafort
St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney displays a series of plaques depicting all Archbishops who have officiated in that church.
When Cardinal Pell was found guilty of child sex crimes earlier this year someone asked if his plaque is going to be removed. A spokesperson for the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney said it will remain while his appeal process is completed. Pell lost his first appeal, but there is a possibility of one other, so the process is not complete.
Personally, I prefer that Pell's plaque remains, but something be added to it, and today a memer of The Chasers team did exactly that.

Excellent! 
Even if his possible High Court appeal is dismissed, his fanatical followers, and possibly the church hierarchy, may insist that it is only a secular judgement, meaningless to a prince of the church...

That secular addition to the plaque shouldn't bother the hierarchy then. After all, it's just a secular addition.

Re: US v Manafort
That is what Catholic institutions are for. Some of them even advertise their motives out in the open. A recent example is a statue unveiled on the grounds of Blackfriars Priory School, a private Roman Catholic school for boys in Prospect, an inner-northern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, less than two years ago.
