I had (past tense) at one time faith the Catholic Church's pedophilia problem would be amenable to legal sanctions and vigorous in-house measures. And this was back in the mid 1980s when I was active in the ACLU and the matter came tp our attention. (IIRC the ACLU 'angle' was the church's separate and unregulated and unmonitored, by the state authorities, criminal system for dealing with their problem without attracting undue public notice. We noticed)
Anyhow, ~30 years later, I don't think I'm cynical, just icily hardened to their protracted resistance to ever get ahead of their 1500 (by their own documentation) year old problem. I'm not being sarcastic, at all, when I assert the church needs to make pedophilia a sacrament. It's the ONLY way out for them [PERIOD]

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
