The rest of the non Catholic world doesn't believe you...
That would tend to support the above statement.
The concern that non-catholics have when news such as this come out is that the Catholic church hasn’t done a good enough job of weeding out the evil priests who perform the criminal acts, but even worse - they maintain a culture of keeping these incidents internal instead of involving the proper authorities.
The arguement that other groups, such as schools and protestant churches have evil leaders who prey on children doesn’t address the second concern, which is the culture of not involving authorities. If this was just one isolated incident where a local priest was responsible, it would be more understandable. Instead, it is just one of many with a similar pattern: accused priest doesn’t face formal punishment or criminal investigation and church authorities who know about the accusations don’t alert the authorities or punish the priest.
It gives the appearance that church authorities are more concerned with hiding problems with priests rather than dealing with them openly and showing more concern for the victims. The church has said they’ve corrected their mistakes and abuse cases are from the distant past, but this case occurred starting in 1999.
