I agree, it is pretty embarrassing isn't it.
It's really not that much of a "plus" when you consider what their (supposed) founder said :
"Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Hint : they're all dead. St. Paul also was an apocalyptic. He was surprised and had to apologize for those who died before the end came, "fallen asleep in the Lord" etc.
There are faiths that are far far older.
The church has changed radically over the centuries, from when Rome was not even recognized as first.
New dogmas, new creeds, new Trinity, new sacraments, new beliefs, etc. The fact that it has the same name does not make it the same church.
Does he talk about if the rampant pedophilia was true throughout the church's history ?

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
