I don’t know the reasons why any individual diocese releases or chooses not to release the names. You’ll have to contact officials there for truthful answers. Anything I say would be an opinion or guess.
I haven idea if they are breaking the law. Have you studied to be a lawyer? I sure haven’t. Can’t help you with that one.
Your last question is so loaded. It implies that a diocese that waits to release names is harming children. Usually, when a priest is accused, they are removed from duties until the matter can be resolved. You do realize that most of the accusations stem from abuse that happened over 30 years ago, right? The Church has taken many steps to prevent this from happening again. You may have a problem with how the Church used to take care of these matters but they are doing an amazing job now.
Haven=have no. Sorry about that. Hard to type on the phone with my thumbs.
Since many Roman Catholic diocese have released the names of suspected pederast priests, I doubt they are breaking the law.
And if those dioceses can and do release the names of suspected pederast priests, they all should in order to protect children and families from these criminals.

that is not what has been happening all over the world for decades, if not centuries. These pederasts are kept on the job, or shuffled from one unsuspecting parish to the next where they are free to rape more children.

That is not true. Many of these cases involve current priests. But one of the reasons for publishing the names of these priests is so that other victims will come forward when they realize they are not alone.

You need to read the 2011 Philadelpia Grand Jury report and compare it to the 2005 Grand Jury report. Part of the intense fury voiced by the Grand Jury is that NOTHING had been done to remedy the situation, but instead, more empty denials and hiding of pederast priests. Links to both those reports are found here

I would expect someone who cares about the truth to read the reports to see what the current situation really is. I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the RCC's "amazing job" after you read them.
