Catholicism

but my point is why associate or blame an entire group for the faults of so few?

Because the few represent the whole. When the whole would rather protect the few than remove them from the church completely and when the whole refuses to punish the few with prison, that is a reflection of the whole. That makes the whole corrupt.

The Church doesn't seek to simply cover up scandal without some repercussions in recent years. And I basically threw you a bone to jump on viscously there, but the Church, while perfect in Her fullest sense, is made up of imperfect people. Just as a great team, though often winning, still experiences its slumps and times of trouble. You have to be realistic about the Church on earth.
