I have no hope of digging it up, but I think in the 90s/2000s or thereabouts, there was some Catholic figure who was quoted saying that the real lesson of the priesthood sex abuse scandal was that it demonstrated what they had been saying all along about how homosexuals were all degenerate predators who needed to be stopped.

Like, to him the most important part of “pedophile priests are abusing boys in industrial quantities and getting systematically protected by their employer, the Catholic Church, who also claim to literally be God’s infallible messenger on Earth” was the word “boys.”
