Actually Francis has been addressing the issue and updated Church Doctrine in order to make it easier to catch predators.
See the problem is. If you do something illegal but confess it to the Church, they have to keep it a secret and may not work with law enforcement. Otherwise they betray their vows to keep confessions a secret.
So if you squeal, you’re going to Hell and the Church has no choice but to excommunicate you.
Francis has been updating this to create exceptions for instances of Priests confessing abuse of their flock to another Priest. Meaning Priests would be free to cooperate with law enforcement and can act to punish misbehaving preachers even if they confess.
