Did you mention the pedophile priests? Be sure to mention them.
Pedophile priests represent only a small fraction of the sum total of priests and are therefore not relevant.
What is relevant is the Catholic Church's history towards science. It's claims to be the sole source of scientific truth, and it's suppression of actual truths that don't comport with the then current view of the Church.
I can think of no worse authority on science than the Catholic Church.

Immediately after the Emperor Constantine's conversion he enacted two laws (about A. D. 320) directed against child-murder

"I can think of no worse authority on science than the Catholic Church." Which shows you know nothing about either the history of science or the Catholic Church. The whole "Western" perspective of science is a direct result of the Catholic Church's promotion of an "ordered" universe understandable by human reason.
