"The Church reproves, as foreign to the mind of Christ, any discrimination against men or harassment of them because of their race, color, condition of life, or religion. On the contrary, following in the footsteps of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, this sacred synod ardently implores the Christian faithful to "maintain good fellowship among the nations" (1 Peter 2:12), and, if possible, to live for their part in peace with all men,(14) so that they may truly be sons of the Father who is in heaven.(15) "​

Okay, so we tick off racism and discrimination as officially condemned by the Vatican creeps, which means by now we’re within maybe a decade or so until they get around to condemning things, acts, etc. that have to do with little boys?

Well discrimination based on race is alive and well. They just announced that half of the Oxford scholars are minorities. That would not be possible if white students weren't being discriminated against.
