There's a clear distinction between the two sections. "Criticism of the church" contains a variety of information that should be sorted out and placed in the main article, since it contains core stuff like the non-removal of the accused from the Church. "Critique" should probably then be renamed something else to make it clear that it's dealing with criticisms of what could be called the "catholic sexual abuse narrative" - e.g. that the Catholic Church was worse than other institutions in this regard.

"After decades of inaction, Sinéad O'Connor brought the scandal to a head when she tore up a photo of John Paul II on a 1992 episode of Saturday Night Live. The protest drew praise from critics of the church but also the ire of many Catholics, which greatly damaged her career. Her protest would see increased positive reappraisal as corruption and suppression efforts by the church related to abuse became more popularly known."
This is lacking any citations. It also reads awkwardly in the lead section (lack of encyclopedic tone?), and is not mentioned anywhere else in the article. RTredwell (talk) 18:04, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
