Not a good comparision.

A (corrupt, in my mind) hierarchy enabled pedophiles in the Catholic church, but never in my years of going to them did I hear the priest stand up and say that pedophilea was good or that we should go practice it.

Unfortunately, there are Mullahs that preach the murder of innocents every day in the Muslim world.

Secular Catholics raised a firestorm of protest that has forced the Church into major changes in the way it approaches priest pedophilea.

Occasionally you read or hear about a Muslim group (usually) in the Western countries that denounces Muslim radicals. And you can read about praise of such radicals that same day (usually in the East or on Western Muslim BBS's).
