The point is the RC church and the faithful have had very little sympathy for the victims

Oh, no, Ed, that's just not true. But this kind of sympathy is best expressed one-to-one, and it's best not reported in the press. I've found that nuns are in the forefront of people who have dealt directly and sympathetically with victims. Priests and bishops can't do it, because the victims don't trust them - and rightly so. If you talk to Catholics privately, you will find that most are very concerned about the victims of this humiliating, demeaning crime. You will find very few that deny the crimes, and almost none that are unsympathetic. But many Catholics (myself included) don't know any victims of these crimes, so it's hard for us to give sympathy where it's due.

If you want to say something like that, you should furnish proof.
