Yes, there are abusers and that is heinous. The catholic church has done unspeakable amounts of damage to Christianity. However, that damage was done by going against the teaching of Christ who warned against such evil saying: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Mark 9:42. There will be justice. I can't imagine having a worldview where these evil people just die and cease to exist. Totally escaping justice.

And many can not imagine a worldview that relies on justice being provided by some entity after death. I would call that "escaping justice".
Actually that entity demands both. Man's justice and God's justice.
Jesus was pretty specific about who should be casting stones, and that generally people are not qualified to do so

Man's justice is forgiveness, not punishment
