But the Catholic Church said the document was not directly concerned with child abuse at all, but with the misuse of the confessional.

YES, that was PART of the directive, however it ranged far beyond the confessional, into kids, and bestiality practiced by the clergy.

Now I ask you, when was the last time you ever saw a sheep in the confessional booth? Other than this kind?
