If the Church so wanted to spare a dying perpetrator, then I suggest it could have looked further up its hierarchy to whomever turned the offendingly blind eye.

We do know:
...it took Archbishop Rembert Weakland—himself a notorious homosexual linked to abuse in his own priesthood (a fact ignored in the Times’ article)—until 1996 to ask the Holy See to act against the priest.

I know Weakland is an old man, but he should be in prison IMO.
