The reason was simple. Most countries there had lax law enforcement regarding child molestation and the RCC was beyond criticism. The RCC became very adept at stamping out all dissent. Pope Frank said the church's critics were working for the devil and whistleblowing nuns were "terrorists". He only changed his tune after the PR disaster became untenable.

You can always trust the RCC to do the right thing when it's the only available option.
