They've known about the problem, in the Vatican, for decades. Even had a special commission set up to study it, headed by a leading Cardinal. This was done by the last Pope, not the current one, btw.
The decision made was "we're going to fix this"... by doing as little as possible, whilst sweeping it out of the media.
Tragic to see the EXTRA damage they have wrought on their own congregation's kids, and on the institution of the church itself.
