Wonderfully! It is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for the perfect.

This is who we are:

Might want to check on the pedophile rates for schools and Protestant denominations. You’re going to be surprised!

Most churches have problems these days because they’ve left the Word of God. However the pedophile priest problem is very unique to the Roman church who heretically implemented priestly celibacy

With not a shred of Scriptural support for that portrayal.

Ephesians 4:11-14 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,…..

It’s not for sinners, it’s for saints to equip them for the work of the ministry, not to assign it to a separate clerical class who does it all.
