"For years, some U.S. church officials kept mum about abuse allegations and shuffled problem priests from parish to parish — practices first exposed in the 1980s and then on a larger scale in the early 1990s."
Those higher up in the church tend to be the shadier ones, covering up abuse scandals and the like, and spreading the hate, and they are also the 'holier' ones, the more fundamentalist ones. If the fundamentalists are the nutjobs, then what does that say about your religion's fundamentals?

Teacher: Yes, Jimmy?
Jimmy: They're anti-science and immoral!
Teacher: Good job! You get a gold star today!
(Wait...why is he getting a star for such an easy question?)
