A small church I attended had a situation where there was something odd and they swept it under the Rug, I was pretty peeved. Another Church I attended had something happened which was not criminal, nor was it physically sexual, but it was inappropriate.
The Church went right to the congregation and told them in as much detail as is appropriate something happened and removed the pastor suspending him indefinitely only allowing him to consider returning after completing years of spiritual counseling.
That's how most Protestant congregations work. Safeguards are built into the system, as Christ instructed His church to be made up of watchful elders and a presbyterian system of checks and balances.
Any offending ministers are removed from the pulpit. In contrast, the RCC shuffles pedophiles around from parish to parish, permitting them to continue their terrible sins against God and children.
