Would you attack the Church if you could?

What do you mean by "the Church" though? Do you mean the specific individuals who work for the Church and who have committed the crime of either abuse or cover up or fail to report a known crime? 

"The Church" consists of much more than those individuals. 

But yes, I do agree that anyone involved should pay accordingly.

It is not a "few people" of the Church. The whole organization is structured in a way that it protects molesters. We are not talking about the corruption of a few, we are talking about the corruption of the whole institution. There is a documentary about this: Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God

Please, PLEASE. Watch that documentary. That is if you have the strenght to watch it until the end. Hopefully you will reconsider your beliefs. 

I will look into the documentary if I come across it, but keep in mind documentaries are by no means free from biases. Also I don't know what you mean about the "whole organization". Catholicism is a religious belief, and the Catholic Church is made up of all of us Catholics. My beliefs on dogmatic teachings are separate from whatever actions may be taken by certain groups of people who work within the Church. So it doesn't make sense that I would all of the sudden stop believing that Jesus is the son of God conceived by the Holy Spirit, etc etc, and everything else, due to what others have done.
