Whatever lies hidden will appear

Judex ergo cum sedebit,
Quidquid latet apparebit:
Nil inultum remanebit. 
When therefore the Judge will sit,
whatever lies hidden will appear:
nothing will remain unpunished.

"They got rid of texts that smacked of a negative spirituality inherited from the Middle Ages. Thus they removed such familiar and even beloved texts as Libera me, Domine, Dies irae, and others that overemphasized judgment, fear, and despair."- Archbishop Annibale Bugnini

"No one believed the women and girls who for decades looked to adults and institutions for help ― and with the exception of three dedicated journalists at the Indianapolis Star and a few others who relentlessly beat the drum as most media ignored a sex abuse spree. The trauma of each victim cannot be minimized, but the sheer numbers in this case dwarf the number in, say, the Jerry Sandusky case. Nassar’s decades of child sexual abuse were made possible by failure on a scale that’s almost inconceivable: failure by coaches, doctors, USA Gymnastics, law enforcement and the United States Olympic Committee. 
The Nassar case isn’t only a story about a child molester. It’s a story about every person and institution that failed to stop him." - USA Gymnastics Chose Medals Over Child Safety

There is a profound contradiction when people look at the "negative spirituality inherited from the Middle Ages" in Christianity and say that overemphasizes on judgement, and then they look at the evil things that happen in the world, and figuratively string up the perpetrators by their thumbs.

Without the judgement in Christianity, our view of the world as redeemable but fallen makes no sense.
