This isn't true. The Catholic Church would never authorize 'child abuse'. However, in the past, sadly many of the clergy may have sanctioned or participated in immoral acts like child abuse. Just because a few religious do this shouldn't be confused with the entire Church sacntionizing or morally approving the immoral act. Those clergy or laymen who claim that the Church is taking some immoral position such as authorizing child abuse are spreading heresy and in extreme cases can be excommunicated.

Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, your question is asking for abuses BY the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church as an institution is the Mystical Body of Christ, and guaranteed by Him to be here until the end of time offering salvation to people until the end of the world.
