Yeah, you can't talk about child abuse anymore without mentioning Catholics. That's why even that woman at NBS (at 3 minute mark) first mentions Catholics and then goes on about JW

Well, in schools individuals have power over children and yet there aren't much sex abuse. The problem is rather that in religious organizations you have individuals have power over adults who believe how priests are these extraordinary good people who simply can't be wrong or do no bad stuff. They see them as authority which they must blindly follow. For instance this is how Catholics explain it in that classic documentary "Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God":
When a man is ordained a priest, he is changed ontologically. He is made a different brand of human being. A little less than the angels. These are people set apart. They are called, they are chosen by God, they want to protect the sacramentality, the supernatural element and so that is why they were very, very careful to do anything to the priest.
