Broad stroke there... since it wasn't the entire organization nor was it the entire organization covering it up.

I see your point, but keep in mind, for a lot of people with no attachment to Catholicism, those cases have defined the Catholic church in recent years and still do.
I didn't mean to move in this direction with this, I just used it to illustrate a point that ceding responsibility to the Catholic Church to look out for the welfare of millions up on millions of people hasn't exactly historically been the wisest thing to do. I don't see how this issue is any different.
The way I see it, we'll allow thousands - if not millions - to die simply to avoid offending some old man in a fancy hat and everyone who else thinks he's the bees knees, but that's just me. Now, that is my own opinion and it's just as smelly as everyone else's, but it's still how I believe. I can't imagine my opinion being any less valid simply because others don't like it or agree with it.
