3. I'm not really sure what the Japanese authorities think about this.

Roman Catholics make up only about 0.5% of the Japanese population. There might be half a million Catholics in Japan. It's probably barely on anyone's radar there.

I don't even have any idea how the Japanese people think about child sexual abuse, really. I assume they are opposed to it, like most people, but whether the RCC there is doing it may not be much of a story there.
