They paid the money on the agreement that none of the victims speak publicly or press charges.
Meanwhile the paedophiles who pose as priests are moved on to other churches where they will continue to abuse more children. With the blessing of the church who would rather pay out money than admit that there is a problem.
I'd want to know the ages of the kids involved. From what I've read many were older teenagers. In countries that have lower ages of consent this wouldn't be considered abuse. Also, from what I've read there are really very few pedophilic priests. Priests who have relations with older kids could possibly respond to psychiatric treatment.

Protestants also have problems with abuse....

It's the first one....Special Bulletin......
