Regardless of whether the Church thought pedophiles redeemable or not, the fact remains that they discarded the victims like so many used condoms.
Nobody who does that deserves to get a free pass and neither does anyone who defends it.
Truth be told, if any one of you think that Priests and Nuns were the only sexual abusers that went off with only the treatment of the time, you are very sorely mistaken.
Sorry guys, history is set in stone.
This the the way MOST sexual abusers were treated. From a Catholic point of view or a Public School POV, or a summer camp POV, etc. It was wrong but so we learned.
It’s much more fun to focus on a tree than to look at the forrest.
