Of course not, beginning with Pope John Paul II, and picking up speed with Pope Benedict XVI, the Vatican has done everything possible to bring every accused priest to justice and protect children in every way possible. Pope Benedict XVI, in the last two years of his Pontificate laicized over 400 priests. Pope Benedict XVI did everything possible to deal with the abuse issue and bring it to a close, and Pope Francis is continuing with his gameplan.
This is just more anti-Catholic propaganda from those wishing to discredit and destroy the Church by doing the work of Satan. The Vatican abhors any form of child abuse.

The Catholic Church does not deny the Child Abuse - Fr. Brendan Smyth was the abuser. The subject causing controversy is that Cardinal Sean Brady was aware of this and did not do much about it. The Catholic Church are very particular about Child Abuse, Especially in America, where child abuse cases are more common. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican Secretary of State, tried to explain how complicated these cases can be. He said; "if a priest cannot confide in his bishop for fear of being denounced then it would mean that there is no more liberty of conscience". But, the Catholic Church insists a "demand that a bishop be obligated to contact police to denounce a priest who had admitted paedophilia". Cardinal Sean Brady is in the wrong for not taking the situation further.

The Catholic Church as a whole does not support child abuse, although more and more information coming to light shows that individual bishops protect the perpetrators within the Church and silence the victims, while others simply turn a blind eye. In fact, the Church says that it opposes child abuse, and indeed many bishops do oppose the evil practice, but whether the Church systemically opposes child sexual abuse is uncertain.Bishop Geoffrey Robinson (Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church) says that the pope alone has the power to make the changes that are necessary. He is convinced that if the pope had spoken clearly and firmly at the beginning of the revelations, the entire response of the Church would have been far better. Even now, Robinson can see no evidence that a true confrontation of the problem is occurring.
