The right case, the right kid, the right priest, and maybe, just maybe the ACLU (with an amicus from the ACLJ?) could get SCOTUS to rule the first amendment does allow the catholic church the right to have priests be able to sexually abuse children, and then we'd be there.
The church has had 1500 years to realize they have a problem, it hasn't happened yet, also, any outside attempts at trying to get the church to change has been fought with literal platoons of lawyers, and active resistance from the top down, and the pew warmers could give a rats ass about the problem as they have made abundantly clear over the fucking centuries.
The current situation isn't working, too many kids being affected for starters, if the practice was legalized, regulated, conducted with parental approval and everyone was just honest about it, that would be about the best outcome we can reasonably expect.

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