I may be wrong, but the response that others do it as well is not meant to exonerate those in the Church who are perpetrating these autrocities. But what is disgusting is that the media is trying to portray the Church as the ONLY religion that is guilty of these sins, which is not the case. It's certainly not an excuse, but it's not isolated just to the Catholic Church.

Then stop using the excuse. The articles posted by Irisshlass are evidence that the media doesn't ignore abuse in other faiths. The cases and cover-ups in the RCC are systemic.
