As usual, there is no acknowledgment of error in your post. You left off some essential quotations marks and it appears to me to be intentional, so as to make it look more authoratative than what it was - a quote from a lawyer.

I’ll toss out corrections whenever I find the time, and I usually have corrections for your posts, because they so often lack essential information or contain misinterpretations or outright lies about Catholics, about priests, about the pope, and about doctrine. They’re nothing if not consistent. They also repeat over and over the same thing, as if no corrections or clarifications had ever been given. An endless carnival wheel, with garish colors. I never did like clowns anyway.

Addition and correction - meant to preview and posted instead.

authoritative

In addition to the headline, you consistently seem to miss that there is no bar to parallel civil action in these cases. The secrecy has been explained multiple times as being concerned with confidentiality, not unlike grand jury proceedings, I would imagine.

Again:

These documents deal with the Church's internal judicial acts, at the canonical level. Therefore they do not deal with the accusations and the provisions of the civil courts of states, which must be carried out according to their own laws. Whoever has addressed or addresses the ecclesiastical court can also address the civil court, to denounce similar crimes. Therefore the action of the Church is not aimed at retracting these crimes from the jurisdiction of the state and keeping them hidden.
