@Ziploc, you said the Vatican was making light of child abuse, in spite of giving it the maximum penalty. Correct?
Your first link is about the Pope's brother being aware of corporal punishment back in the day, it also briefly makes a butchered quote from Crimen sollicitationis which was in reference to ecclesiastical trials only, which do not preclude criminal trials.
The second of your links is just about a Bishop being under suspicion, not the Vatican.
There is no cop outs here, this is just you posting a handful of poorly researched articles and me just stating a few pretty simple facts. Repeating a lie a lot of times doesn't make it the truth.

Since all you have to cling to is heresay (faith) and myth, I should think you would be more sympathetic to the accusations of victims.What? This isn't even an accusation from a victim, its a baseless accusation from a politician which you tried to post as proof.

Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
