And they wont spend any time in prison. The only unknown is why. Why are they not in prison, all of them including those that knew and did nothing. This is an utter failure of justice around the world. The church should disappear into a mountain of debt forced to sell all its assets and be removed from society.

No, the church will be allowed to deal with it internally. What means they will probably transfer the abusers as punishment to a new place. Where they keep the abuse allegations under wraps (because its bad publicity) so the abuser has another chance in a new environment of unsuspecting parishioners to abuse.
