“what Catholic failures identified by the Reformation, would you cite?”

I didn’t say it did. You should check this out from northern NJ in 2002, though (from the NY Post):

“Walking the grounds of Seton Hall University is a lesson in ethics – one that school administrators hadn’t planned on. Mixed in among the buildings named for saints on the South Orange, N.J., campus are three impressive structures named for sinners – or accused sinners: Robert E. Brennan, Dennis Kozlowski and Frank Walsh Jr.

One is in jail, another is facing trial and the third is being sued – all for questionable financial dealings. Each donated at least $1 million to the Catholic university to have his name adorn a building in foot-high letters. “It’s quite clear it’s tainted money,” said communications professor Robert Allen, insisting the university shouldn’t use the donations as justification for “not doing the right thing.” The right thing, some on campus say, is removing the tarnished names from the buildings.

Brennan, for whom the school’s recreation center is named, was the founder of First Jersey Securities. He’s serving a nine-year sentence for money laundering and hiding $4.5 million from bankruptcy creditors. Kozlowski, whose name is on the business-school lecture hall, has been charged with tax evasion, stock manipulation and looting hundreds of millions from Tyco International, the company he served as CEO. He’s also accused of making millions of dollars in charitable contributions under his own name using Tyco funds – including a $1 million donation sent to Seton Hall. Walsh, for whom the campus library is named, is a former Tyco director who’s being sued by the company. It wants to recover the $20 million it claims he received improperly from Kozlowski for brokering a megabillion acquisition.

Unless you're a Kennedy.
