Theist argument against the Church scandals.

[AtheistPhil]

A common argument i see is that the numbers of priests sexually assaulting kids pales in comparison of the number of teachers, doctors or even parents that did the very same kind of acts. 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 ?

Even if those allegations about teachers and doctors were true ( in the same proportion as priests did) and that they tried to hide it, which is as far as I know complete bullshit, even then that argument would be a "tu quoque" fallacy.
