My FIL was EO. My MIL was RC. The children were raised in the RCC. My FIL said to his dying day the cover up was as bad as the crimes, that they should have thrown the doors open and prosecuted the criminals instead of protecting them.
Of course what did he know about law enforcement and doing the right thing, he was only the commissioner of the state police at one time in his career. Thanks be to God, he came to live with us before he died and heard The Gospel preached every Sunday he came to church with us. He became a Born Again Christian prior to his death.
I don't think his story is unique. A lot of people became open to going to other churches when they saw how little regard the RCC had for their children in handling this criminality.
How can any parent, any Christian, any human being, think anything less? And yet so many RCs remain silent.
If these crimes were simply homosexual in nature, they would be bad enough. But they are crimes against children, and those crimes destroy those children. What parent in their right mind would send their child to a parochial school run by "celibate" men and women who purposely deprive themselves of God's gift of a family and children?
When we look around and see so many homosexuals these days it is no coincidence that when asked many many of them say they were raised Roman Catholic. Until that protected abuse ends, we can expect more of the same.

AMEN!
NO DOUBT.
Praise God for your FIL’s Salvation.
