Was it just "ignorance" or "wilful ignorance" in this case?

If it is just "ignorance", do you think that "mitigates the severity of the sin"?

Because when it comes to innocent children being raped and the clergy covering it up, I personally do not believe any one could be that "ignorant" of basic human values and decency...

Thanks
