The RC church isn’t full of child molesters, but it seems to have a lot of bishops who are cover-up artists when molestation does happen.
That’s a problem of institutional structure. Top-down command-and-control bureaucracy is no better in ecclesiastical institutions than in the public school system. Authoritarianism makes sense when it comes to guarding doctrine, but not in assigning personnel and holding them accountable.
In my own denomination, parishioners choose their own pastors (with sign-off from the denomination) - they’re allowed to be grown-ups and control their congregational affairs; not have someone they know nothing about foisted on them as if they are children who should have no voice in the pastor-selection process.
The Reformation occurred because the leadership of the Church had fallen into error, and the error went beyond subtle theological issues to systematic institutional and personal corruption that scandalized the faithful. So the reformers arose. Rome misplayed its hand; the Counter-Reformation came a century too late. Luther was put on trial and ordered to recant; he refused to perjure himself, and got out of town just ahead of the posse. And so the fuse was lit.
In matters of faith, we have three sources of authority: scripture, reason, and tradition. Ideally, all three should reinforce one another. The fundamental question occurs when conflicts arise. The Church is not always led by saints, or wise men.
