Not in the slightest.
Clearly there have been a sizable number of Catholic priests who have preyed upon children and there have been a significant number of prelates who have swept these crimes under the rug.
That's not a matter of dispute.
What is a matter of dispute are wild-eyed claims that there are thousands of child-molesting priests still serving in the Church and that every bishop in the Church is involved in coverups, and that the Pope conspired to assist the predators.
The actual, documented numbers are far smaller than the media would have us believe.
This does not mean that the problem did not exist. What it means is that the focus of the scandal's coverage now has nothing to do with assisting the actual victims - it is about pushing a political agenda.
The fact is, Gamecock, you hate the Catholic Church and would like nothing better than for it to cease to exist and for every Catholic to become a Five-Point Calvinist.
Your sentiment in this matter is so strong that you will promote any misrepresentation or exaggeration regarding the Catholic Church in order to further your personal theological agenda. Even if those misrepresentations come from the Christ-hating MSM of from a fake encyclopaedia website funded by a pornographer.
For my part, I don't agree with your theology. I also know that your own communion is not without its predators and its scandals.
However, I will draw the line at exaggerating the faults of or misrepresenting the actions of your communion - because it simply is not Christian to do so.

Which explains the hundreds of millions of dollars shelled out by the Roman Catholic church to the victims of abuse.
