The cover up of vile the sexual acts was institutional in nature.
Often with priests just being moved to other parishes when the abuse was uncovered.
As the cover up was regulated by the catholic churches hierachy it is not wrong to blame them for the continued abuse.
If a lone policeman kills a black person then he is to blame. If then the whole police force close ranks to ensure that the crime is covered up and that the perpetrator does not face the full force of the law because of this, then the whole police force is to blame. Especially if the cover up is repeated time and time again for centuries.
How many millions must have been raped by catholic priests over the millenia.
Oh and the chief cover upper now holds the position of pope.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
