Sarasi, it is the same story told in country after country.  The Church hides the truth and hides from the truth when it comes to protecting the reputation of the priesthood.  

The Australian Royal Commission and the investigations in Ireland, Canada, and some other European countries have shown all this lying and cover-up is a cultural problem within the Church, an outgrowth of  clericalism, a protection of the "inner circle" against any hint they aren't pure as the driven snow.  If we know that priests rape children, how can we trust they "image Christ"?  If they hide it how can we believe they bring Christ into the world, how can we believe they are teachers of what is good and must be believed in what they teach?  

We can also see the same thing happen in other religious organizations, universities, clubs - the inner circle protects the insiders of the institution.  The Catholic Church behaves no better than any of the others.   That blows my mind and it hurts my heart.
