There's a clear distinction between the two sections. "Criticism of the church" contains a variety of information that should be sorted out and placed in the main article, since it contains core stuff like the non-removal of the accused from the Church. "Critique" should probably then be renamed something else to make it clear that it's dealing with criticisms of what could be called the "catholic sexual abuse narrative" - e.g. that the Catholic Church was worse than other institutions in this regard.
