Infallibility in the Catholic Church (papal infallibility) only goes to the Pope, not priest-rapists or the bishops who protect them.
Even papal infallibility has its limits. The pope is not somehow morally superior to the rest of humankind. Not even the things he teaches are necessarily infallible. In the event that Church doctrine is in question, the pope can make an ultimate infallible pronouncement to end controversy.
