The Vatican could make this scandal disappear fairly easily by simply 'fessing up:
We - the Church -made mistakes. We are sorry. We'll do our best to see that we do not repeat our mistakes. We will from this time forward take all allegations of child sexual abuse seriously, cooperate with secular authorities, and ensure that accused clergy are segregated from pastoral duties. We beseech your forgiveness, which we do not deserve.By continuing to deny and defend, the Vatican simply opens itself to further attacks.
By 'fessing up they'd be a much more difficult target.
