Sex Abuse Scandal in the Catholic Church

The point is things you don't like also have evolutionary benefits and they don't stop having those benefits just because little ol str8 suburban Dog of Danger dislikes them.

Obviously pedophilia/sex abuse still serves SOME function in the world- or Mother Nature would have completely wiped it out entirely already. I know that's what we would all like to do to pedos & rapists (and say things like that when we're trying to virtue signal) but again , the truth is higher than any of us.

That's not how natural selection works. There needs to be sufficient pressure and sufficient time for detriments to survival to be "wiped out entirely." If sexual abuse doesn't have an effect, or even has a small negative effect, on reproductive success then it's not necessarily weeded out, and the more complex a change is then the more time it would take for sufficient mutations to happen, if they can even happen. What would a mutation to prevent sexual abuse even look like? And if sexual abuse arises from cultural/social reasons rather than genetics it's even more complicated.

...Well, it reduces it at least. I don't think humans are going to evolve that any time soon, though. Another option would be if vaginas actually had teeth, but then rectums also having teeth would cause many more problems than it solves.
