It's no mystery. Young and naive children, especially from many years ago who had no internet informational programs or education to tell them that this was abuse, would simply believe what the church told them. Theirs was the word of god after all.

Children can be very easily frightened into co-operation. Look at the African and Islamic children who are forced or coerced into killing.

And even when they hold the parents, the parents wouldn't usually believe it. It was outlandish to them and they mostly held all priests in very high regard

Thankfully we are wiser to them nowadays and times have changed.

The church should be charged as accomplices for moving/hiding every priest the knew to be a pedo. They should have been handed straight over to the police and charged. Why do they get a free pass on raping a child? They should have gotten double the normal (pathetic) sentence because they should have been better people, being men of god and all that.
