So, by your logic, every parishioner who put money in the collection plate of a Catholic or other denomination with priests/clergy who abused children is a pedophile, right?

How distinction-challenged can you sink to?

For you to try to compare the two, you'd have to have...
(a) the ENTIRE Catholic hierarchy (not just a few)
(b) OPENLY sanction child abuse (not just a few behind closed administrative doors)...
WITH (c) the ENTIRE Catholic grassroots givers giving financial consent to such practices!

(That didn't/hasn't happened)

In Mormonism...
(a) the ENTIRE General Authorities (not just a few)
(b) OPENLY embraced racism into 1978 (not just a few gen authorities behind closed administrative doors)...
with (c) the ENTIRE Lds grassroots givers giving financial consent to such practices!

Surely you can somehow put distinctives, for example, 'tween the way the Penn State admins handled that scandal vs. other campuses with similar issues. They also didn't do what they did openly.
