Archbishop Vigano has identified the root cause of the abuse crisis in the church to be a plague of homosexuality in the clergy and the hierarchy. This is not the first time the Church has been afflicted by the scourge of what His Grace calls a Lavender Mafia. An element of the wide corruption of the Church during the 11th century involved the sin of Sodom among clerics and in particular in monasteries. St. Peter Damian was a leading figure who fought to free the Church of this grave sin. Brian McCall and author Matthew Hoffman (who translated St. Peter Damian's work "The Book of Gomorrah") discuss the great saint and his successful plan to reform the Church of his day. His translation is available here https://www.amazon.com/Gomorrah-Damians-Struggle-Ecclesiastical-Corruption/dp/0996704205.
