Theist argument against the Church scandals.

RE: Theist argument against the Church scandals.

So these theists say that the attacks on the Church are not justified because what they did was not worse than what the general population did.

I argued that the others' leadership didn't try to hide the scandals however i don't have the evidence supporting that claim, can anyone help ?

The attack against the church is because it has been institutionalized. The church actively covers up its actions.

Teachers, doctors, and parents don't usually have the resources, or organization, of the church. The attacks on the church are aimed at the church knowingly covering these actions up... not that these actions occur.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
