Not in the least.
I agree. Playing the "but they do it too" card is a putrid red herring that stinks the place out. Yes, similar abuses have happened in schools, in care homes, in the BBC. And in each case that's uncovered, inquiries have been launched and those found guilty sacked and imprisoned. If the organisations involved quietly moved the alleged abusers around to potential fresh victims, suppressed evidence, and blamed the victims as a matter of policy, as does the Catholic Church, there would be the riot to end all riots. Randy, I appreciate your attempting to tackle the question, but don't you dare try to whitewash the issue in such a pathetic way again.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
