Irrelevant analogy.

I don't think so...

The criticism in the priestly-paedophilia cases was ultimately directed against the Church higher-ups who chose to cover up the problem rather than dealing with it.

...because the criticism of the priests involved was taken as a given. Everyone here condemned what they did and no one here praised the priests for the previous (or current) good works.

When we take the principals in each case (Buffet and Gates, and the priests in my analogy), then we should be criticizing each equally.

Not when you have one case where the Priests admit it, and another where Gates claims his money is prohibited from paying directly for abortion. Also, one is against the law, and one isn't. These two things just aren't equivalent, in so many ways.
