Right, but I doubt the Vatican not doing enough has to do with popes not caring. It’s more likely that John Paul II was unaware of the scale of abuse or was in denial about it due to shock or belief that it was overexaggerated. I’m not saying the Church couldn’t have handled it better, but I don’t think it’s so black and white either. There are many other pressing concerns the Vatican has, so it left local bishops to deal with sexual offenders. The failure to deal with the problem lay more with those bishops far more than it did with the Vatican.
