Catholics and jahovas witnesses actively shield kiddy diddlers from consequences. Seems pretty clear they believe in it.
That's not representative of the faith, the dogma, or the beliefs of the masses of followers. Only what a small number of elites do. Why would you assume that elites within a religious institution are any different than political or business elites?
That's not a "sect". That's just a tiny number of individuals who're shit to the core, and based on the beliefs they themselves claim to represent, will probably end up burning in hell, if indeed their beliefs are correct.
Or am I wrong? Again, not genuinely aware of any sect whatsoever of Christianity that allows for fucking children.
Edit: As a quick note, the same thing is done all too often (shielding people who've done terrible shit) by companies and businesses to prevent the scandal from reaching the press. We've found out about many of them, but all too many will simply disappear. It's often viewed that internal discipline is preferable to mob violence against the institution itself, should the scandal be known. Again, that's pointing straight to human nature. That religious institutions would be guilty of human nature? Okay. Sure, why not? They're human too. The fact that a bunch of sky fairy worshipping idiots may have elevated them into leadership doesn't change anything.
