RC's, of which I am one, are not spinning this as an attack on the church, although that probably does motivate some. We want this to come to an immediate end and for the whole mess to be cleaned up. It is far more a problem of homosexual priests than of pedophiles, of which there are a few.
This is a clarion call for massive spiritual reform in the RC church. A return to biblical sexual morality is essential to future credibility. The same is true for Protestant churches.
As biblical principles have been ignored in favor of "enlightened" modern perspectives the cancer of immorality has spread promising fulfillment yet yielding pain, disease and shame.
Moses' counsel to Joshua, "Be strong and courageous" is the counsel church leaders (Protestant or Catholic) need in returning to biblical foundations.
