@adiwan Yeah it was nice. They excommunicated like 900 priests between 2004 and 2014 when serious investigations took place.
Obviously there will always be incidents like with any crime (there are over 400k active priests plus a whole lot more clergy staff, nuns, monks etc) but the cover up policy is over. Now they try to do an internal investigation first and if they find anything, excommunicate and report to secular law, unless it's within the vatican, which as a sovereign state has the authority to trial.
