The Catholic Church is truly messed up.
People attend church and put their kids in church activities so they can acquire moral standards and live a balanced life. To have priests sexually abusing and corrupting those kids is the largest betrayal I can imagine.

For decades at least, and probably centuries, the Vatican concealed abuse, transferred abusers, and denied everything.
John Paul II was a lifelong (84 years) member of that church, including nearly 60 years as a priest and nearly 30 as the CEO of the whole enterprise. As Pope, he bore ex officio responsibility for it, and it is practically certain he knew about it.

How about almost a millenia?
Saint Peter Damian (~1200 AD) tried to get pedophiles removed and put in Monasteries. Wrote a book about it, called Liber Gomorria.

Shaun Dougherty, now 48, was abused until he was in the eighth grade
The abuse stopped him from wanting his own family and 'destroyed' his life
Carolyn Fortney, 37, was abused from when she was just 18-months-old
Her three sisters were also sexually abused by their priest, Father Augustine Giella, who died awaiting trial in 1992 after being finally arrested for his crimes
Robert Corby, now 83, was 'targeted' by priests in 1947 because he was 'fatherless'
He said no one would have believed him if he spoke up at the time
The abuse meant he could not show affection towards his wife or children
Other victims told their stories at a press conference in Pennsylvania on Tuesday
More than 300 priests were named in the horrifying 886-page report
