You didn’t say a few people in the Catholic Church. You said the Church. That’s a lie.

The first link
All I can find is that the parish is supporting him just as much. There are stupid people everywhere. That Bishop is not “The Church”.

Second link from a blog who seems to have a problem with the Obama protest at Notre Dame, states that the Cardinal suspended the Priest. Again THIS Cardinal is NOT the Catholic Church.

The last two are from Dublin between the 30’s and 90’s.
Not exactly today.

However, NONE of these cases are saying that the Catholic Church is STILL doing anything.

But maybe you just read too much of the MSM where the accusation makes it true.

CARDINAL ROGER MAHONY His Eminence Roger Michael Cardinal Mahony (born February 27, 1936) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He currently serves as the fourth Archbishop of Los Angeles, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1991. of Los Angeles city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; is the subject of a federal grand jury investigation. During this investigation, US attorney Thomas O'Brien will determine if Mahony was at all fraudulent in his handling of priests accused of sexual abuse.
The cardinal has been accused of moving priests accused of abuse to other parishes instead of removing them from ministry. He has also refused access to the church's personnel files.
Two years ago, the archdiocese agreed to pay $660 million to 508 victims of sexual abuse--the largest payout since the scandal broke in the 1990s.
The Los Angeles diocese, unlike the dioceses of Lincoln, Neb. and Tulsa, Okla., is considered to be compliant with the US bishops' child protection charter, which was adopted in 2002 and calls for annual audits.

What I do not understand, is why the Holy Father has not come down like a ton of bricks on this one. All he would have to do (at the very least) is proclaim that anyone associated with the church, at any level, who ever molested a child, lost his Priest-hood the instant the crime was committed, and as such is excommunicated and will be turned over to the local authorities, and that the church will provide full support into the investigation. Yes, it is that black and white.

For reasons I cannot fathom, the Church has not done this; this is a very simple litmus test. Would Christ tolerate this behavior? Would the Holy Virgin? You are judged by the company you keep; a church that tolerates this invited condemnation.

And yes, it's still going on today - this article was written THIS year .... Feb. 2009!!!
