Jail. Active pedophiles are criminals. Three Hail Marys and a good act of contrition is not enough. And if the pope doesn’t turn them over to the police, he is an accessory to the crimes—and equally guilty.

This is a criminal matter, not just a sin. Prison, not a penance.

Oh, right. It is.

I'll believe the Church when the police run the investigation.
