There's not really that much to say about this anymore. There's been extensive, prominent, very public worldwide discourse about the ways in which widespread sexual abuse by priests has been hidden from secular authorities, and therefore effectively enabled, by the Catholic Church for 20 years now. They haven't changed, they resist change even now (for example by directing their attorneys to very aggressively attack rape survivors), and it's evident they have no will to change at all.
