In the US? That's a weird way to write "world wide". And you think, what you posted is enough? The abuse is underpinned by structures deep in the catholic church. It takes a hell of a lot more for changing that, than just sacrifying some pawns. There are studies about this, which state clearly and painfully, how the catholic church supported and protected perpetrators and how they actively hindered the full disclosure of the cases by independent researchers. These are problems, that are still active and are discussed a lot. And the big publicity wave was like 2010, so 16 years ago.

Greetings from an ex catholic in germany, who quit out of rage about the churches eggretious actions.

PS: Did you know, that the catholic church in germany tries to chance its structures to be more grassroots instead of strict hierarcy (even a little bit)? It's called the Synodal path. Triggered by real grassroot movements like Maria 2.0. Though the Vatican is really upset about that and tried to end this change.
