Be inclined to point you towards articles like this: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/faithbased/2010/03/making_amends.html

But I have to be honest, based on the responses I read, no matter what I write I'll get, "That's a lie" or "that's just PR" or "they don't mean that" etc etc.

It seems this board offers two sides:

1) The Catholic Church is inherently evil, and will always strive to abuse children

and

2) If you say anything else, you condone and support the abuse of children.

I wish life were so simple. Alas, it isn't.
