For those who aren’t in the know about Kiwifarms, this Wikipedia article explains it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms Kiwifarms is blocked here in the UK, so I had to use TOR to access it to get these screenshots.
Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment.[3][4][5] Kiwi Farms has been tied to the suicides of three people who were victims of harassment by the website.[6][7][8]
The site targets transgender people,[4][15] people with disabilities,[16][17] and those its users believe to be neurodivergent.[16][17][15] Targets of harassment are referred to on the forum as “lolcows”
As some may already be aware, months ago, there was a callout post on lemmy.world about a user named Call Me Leni who was making dozens of comments doubling down on defending Elon Musk’s Nazi salute. Leni made dozens of comments in the callout thread where Leni further doubled down on defending Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes and the AfD:
It has recently been found out that this user is a member of Kiwifarms, and this is one of Leni’s posts there. How do we know this is Leni? Because Leni directly referenced these Kiwifarms posts in Lemmy comments. (The link to Kiwifarms is in the word “question” for the first one, and in the word “overrated” in the second comment). Leni is known for taking the usernames of people on DeviantArt and signing up using those usernames on other websites. Particularly the usernames of DeviantArt users who called Leni out.The username that posted these messages is that of a DeviantArt artist who, at one point, called Leni out. Leni has accounts all over the internet. The Kiwifarms user here also shares Leni’s distinctive writing style, art (the avatar) and opinions. Several things stated by the Kiwifarms account are consistent with details that Leni has posted on the Lemmy account.

As damning as that is, all that’s said there doesn’t mean the church is a “pedo protection organization”, in fact one of the things you refer to is Pope Francis specifically saying the issue is a plague that needs to be fixed. That’s the opposite of it being a “protection organization”. In the same way I wouldn’t call the Lemmy crowd a “terrorist protection organization”, even though both issues are concerning where they can be found.

(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
Vatican is a pedo protection organization… Why would I care about what they have to say?
You say that like there are sources for that too.
There are many, including from the UN:
