"What's the appropriate way to respond? Is their doing the time for their crime enough?"

The point you seem to miss Joe is that the church knew of these abuses but actively helped to cover them up. They did not report them to the relevant authorities so the abuses could be dealt with, they did not sack the people concerned, they seemingly did not castigate them in any way shape or form.
