they're incapable of dealing with this issue in a way that satisfies anyone outside. no modern institution works like the vatican other than the vatican.
you hit it on the head with the idea that it will take centuries because those are the time frames they believe they have to deal in.
obviously it's ridiculous but they actually think they're weighing a small matter like child rape against the bigger issue of redeeming the world.
and compared to the torture and murder of the inquisition, how bad is a few thousand raped kids? it's not like they endorsed child rape. they only hid the fact some low level employee's engaged in it for decades.
the inquisition happened. and they have a billion + believer's.
why would they think this isn't something that blows over in the next 50 years with essentially no damage? walk a mile in their shoes.
