yes, answer the one crucial question:

how come even though the catholic church has the exact same rate of abuse that any other segment of society has, they continually get signaled out?

Unless the Church purges homosexuals from the priesthood, the vile molestation of young boys by clergy will continue. The Church has faced a major crisis about every 500 years. The first was the sack of Rome in the 5th century when Church archives were lost, and many clergy were killed. In the 10th century there was the schism between East and West. In the early 16th there was the Reformation. The Church survived each crisis and even prospered. o there is the crisis of sexual molestation of young boys which has alienated the faithful. It is yet to be seen how this crisis will resolve. People of faith of course feel that since Jesus promised to be with the Church until the end of time, there will be a solution.
