It’s not just Bishops that covered it up. It is also Cardinals and Archbishops.
It is a Catholic Church cover up.
And it is the Catholic Church that cleaned it up.

Cardinal George Pell and other senior officials failed to exercise proper care for children in a Melbourne parish by not acting on information of sexual misconduct by a paedophile priest, according to final submissions to the royal commission into child abuse.
It is considered likely the commission will make some adverse findings against the Cardinal.
It could also privately recommend police press charges against George Pell.
“It’s not just Bishops that covered it up. It is also Cardinals and Archbishops.”
Whether Cardinal or Archbishop - they were ALL bishops. That’s why I used the proper title - “bishops”.
“It is a Catholic Church cover up.”
No. It was not universal, not part of universal practice or doctrine, not part of the catechism, and not the teaching or practice of any pope. It was not a “Catholic Church cover up.” But someone predisposed to the ridiculous might conclude otherwise.
