That’s not true, they work very hard to make sure those priests face no repercussions at all. It’s not exactly easy to constantly transfer priests to new places where nobody knows about their crimes and to make sure their victims stay silent.

In all seriousness though, both the church and police won’t change until an outside force makes them. Fixing the police is going to require a federal group to come in and burn the rot out no matter what it takes and for a permanent group to be established that exists outside any connection to the police force to monitor and punish officers that break laws. The very first and minimal step is going to need to be a removal or at least massive limitation on qualified immunity.
