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.

Your posting of some PR "pamphlet" does nothing to nullify Crimen Sollicitationis, particularly paragraphs 11, 13 and 42a.

Here's the real question being side-stepped by RC apologists...

Is CRIMEN SOLLICITATIONIS still in effect?
