This is quite litrally a top-down problem, with no fault put to 99.9% of Catholics, but all falling on the church itself. The Catholic Church believes that it is not beholden to any secular laws of any nation where it teaches, and is only beholden to their own dogma. Quite literally, the church covers up these things because they don't feel it's anyone's business but their own.

Meanwhile, the church's civilian population must follow the laws of the nation where they live, AND live by Catholic dogma (to be considered a "good" Catholic.

This kind of separation of rule/double standard is bound to create such corruption and scandal.
