The point is, if G-d has a special place in his thought for the church, then he should intervene to prevent His Name from being sullied by perverts. If G-d does not, then He either has not the power, or He doesnt care about having His Name sullied by Perverts.
To disagree, you have to either find fault with the logic, or with the postulates. You are free to. The above works for me.
Bureaucracy was a great system when it was invented, but like many systems, over time it becomes complex and cumbersome. Catholicism being almost 1700 years old (no, St Paul nor Peter really established it but rather Constantine around 320CE) it is more complex and cumbersom than most.
If there was an all powerful G-d, then every little subchurch could get an email from G-d giving them their instructions for the day. It is the absense of communication from G-d that creates a niche for the bureaucrats.

By extension then, the fact that God allows sin period must show that he has no power or doesn't care.

(They say anti-Catholicism is the thinking man's anti-Semitism; that's an insult to thinking men)
