Because nothing is more evil than harming a defenceless child. The Catechism itself acknowledges this. So, the various sex scandals in the Church from around the world are a source of great shame for the Catholic Church.
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.

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".

Cardinal Sean Brady is in the wrong for not taking the situation further.

the one who see child abuse
A:Most cases of Catholic child abuse happen because there is a culture in which they can happen, and because there has been little deterrent to potential perpetrators. Priests or lay teachers can abuse a child in his or her own home, in schools, even churches, and especially on camping trips or the like. Anywhere the child can be alone, even for a few minutes, with a paedophile priest, he is at risk. Although most priests are entirely innocent of paedophilia, no parent can know whether a priest is or is not a paedophile.
