The RCC and their Catholic League child rape enablers are claiming nearly 50,000 cases of sexual abuse just didnt happen because there wasnt enough evidence to prosecute.
Meanwhile they are still withholding evidence from prosecutors, using their extensive lobbying power to keep the RCC from being subject to the exact same reporting requirements for every other organization that deals with children, and enlisting their army of indoctrinated child sex apologists to whitewash the scope of the problem. Meanwhile the message being sent to their existing child raping priests is they need to cover their tracks because so long as they arent prosecuted (and maybe not even if they are) they will still have a job and retirement because the RCC can just pretend it never happened. And the chances they will be prosecuted are slim because priests are still granted immunity from reporting other priests.
I suppose the silver lining is they can no longer hide from their membership how much of their donations are being used to pay for the RCCs culture of child rape.
