This is what the Church says...
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. (John 3:20)

"This is what the Church says"
Exactly, what it says. The church does not promote child molestation nor does it officially condone such actions, and yet such actions have been covered up on a large scale. Is this consistent with church teachings? No. Hence my confusion over why it would be done.
Would it help alleviate your confusion to learn that there are atheists and pedophiles hiding in the clergy doing stuff with a clear conscience because, unlike real Christian priests who do think God
exists and punishes such sins, those atheists and pedophiles DONT CARE WHAT GOD THINKS.
