I understand your logic, but I don't think this would do any good.

The money collected at mass mostly goes towards that particular church itself. Since admission is free, the optional donations help pay the expenses of keeping it running and paying the employees. Some of it goes towards putting together local charity events. Very little of it actually goes to the Vatican.

There are still many many good people and good priests in the church that took no part in any of this. If the Church is going to go through a reform, we need to stick together and support the good people who are in the Church.

I disagree. If the individual parishioners stop/decrease donating and tell the church why, then the message will be sent to up the chain that the abuse behavior has to stop. The church understands money, if there is no change in finances there is no true motive for change. 

Or would you rather wait, let the abuse continue, and then endure bankruptcy from the legal fallout. Look around, it's already happening and Penn diocese will be next.

Would you rather have your religion be proactive or reactive? And stop thinking of individual churches as stand alone's. That's head in the sand thinking.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
