What will continue to happen is that children will continue to be abused and murdered by a corrupt and powerful religious organization. The extent to which the abuse continues to occur relies on the extent to which the corrupt organization is held accountable by secular society. At least, held accountable by enough people in secular society to have any real effect, but that's pretty much a crap shoot, obviously.
1. Many things happen in the world, but I was talking about the thread.
2. The religious schools in which kidnapped children were abused are gone.
3. Some children will continue to be abused by some priests. Perhaps some will be murdered. All of the above happens less frequently than before. And probably, it will continue to get better.
4. Collective blaming will continue to be unjust, and will continue to happen.
5. If by 'held accountable' you mean 'punished for their wrongdoings', only things with minds can behaved immorally and be punished. The RCC can only do so in the sense that some of their leaders, members, etc. (depending on context) do so. Francis, for example, is guilty of many things. But he is not guilty of any of the kidnappings and/or abuses and/or murders in the Canadian schools under discussion. He may or may not have engaged in a cover-up, and if he did, then he is to blame for that. But still not for the kidnappings and/or abuses and/or murders in the Canadian schools under discussion.
There is a tremendous difference between taking blame and accepting responsibility.
In my job, if I make a mistake, it could have serious and potentially life threatening results. If I make a mistake, I may be to blame but also potentially to blame is how the various systems in my job, including my work station and the structure of my work day can play a part, as well as various manufacturers, etc. But largely, if there is an error, I am to blame. Most errors are easily rectifiable: a test is re-run, new results are generated, data is reviewed, the correct results are reissued along with any necessary verbiage. Some errors potentially would not be rectifiable and could result in serious harm and even death.
My employer and all similar employers in my field have engineered my workplace to minimize the chance for such errors, have put into place many checks to catch any errors in every progress and to stop or correct any errors and to prevent errors from happening. There is a fairly continuous process in place to always seek better, more accurate, safer ways to do our jobs and all of us share a responsibility, both moral and on pain of keeping our job, of doing our utmost to do our best.
Ultimately, though, if I released a test result that resulted in harm or death, I might be fired if it were determined that I was personally to blame (rather than a manufacturer, or other entity) but ultimately, it would be my employer who would face legal and financial responsibility. Probably, I would not be fired for a one time occurrence--unless I lied or attempted to cover up my mistake. Even though my employer has over 50,000 employees in just once city. I would not be sued. I could lose my job. I could lose licensure. I could lose the opportunity to every be employed in that field again but ultimately, I could not be sued. My employer could be sued. My employer could lose its certification and be unable to continue its work. My director could lose his job, his licensure, could potentially even face prison time. The last would likely only happen if my director knew of the errors and attempted to cover them up. In other words: attempting to cover up errors is considered far far worse than the error itself. Even when loss of life has occurred.
This is not something bizarre or arcane: it is simply industry standard.
If the RCC or any organization cared to, it could engineer its practices to minimize the opportunity for harm to children and others. It could insist on openness and accepting responsibility, acknowledge harm done, make penance. Make reforms to prevent additional harm to others. It could offer compensation to attempt to rectify some of the harms as it has done in some of the cases of priest sexual abuse. See? It even knows and recognizes its responsibilities to some extent. It could do better. Much, much, much better.
It starts by acknowledging past sins and penance. Some of that penance must surely be talking with families and asking what they need to be done.
