Peter Damian Wrote about it back in the 11th century

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:16

"Peter Damian, born in the year 1007, was a Benedictine monk, a Roman Catholic cardinal, a church doctor and one of Rome’s greatest saints who fought against the church’s rampant pedophilia and homosexual epidemic.

Peter Damian wrote a book called “The Book of Gomorrah” which is a scathing rebuke against Rome’s “phenomena of clerical homosexuality and pederasty” (sexual relationships with boys) and he also endorsed the “imprisonment of clergy who are a danger to youth.”

Not only did St. Peter Damian attack the Catholic clergy who were having sexual relationships with children, he also railed against the church for keeping quiet about these abuses, for harboring these child sex abusers and for covering up these scandals:
Damian blames lax ecclesiastical superiors for their ‘silence’ with regard to clerical sodomy, and regards them as sharing in the guilt of those under their authority. ‘Undoubtedly, those who turn a blind eye to the sins of their subjects that they are obligated to correct, also grant to their subjects a license to sin through their ill-considered silence,’ writes Damian, later adding that he would rather be persecuted than to fail to speak out: ‘Indeed, I prefer to be thrown innocent into a well with Joseph, who accused his brothers of the worst of crimes to their father, than to be punished by the retribution of divine fury with [the high priest] Eli, who saw the evil of his children and was silent.’ ”
Not only have these abuses been going on for over a thousand years but those in leadership positions do nothing to remove these predators from the priesthood. 
Members of the Catholic clergy who do not speak out, who turn a blind eye and who do not say anything about these abominations are just as guilty as those who commit these crimes."
