    No one in the upper echelons, including those of the Vatican, believes any of that. If they did, they would out and shame pedophiles with extreme prejudice.

    I think the counterargument here is that hurting people is bad, even when they’ve done harm,

    but even that falls pretty short, because it’s not just that the upper echelons of the Catholic Church aren’t “outing and shaming” them, but also that the system is literally protecting them.
