Yeah, Smokey, but that's the way it is in all of life, no matter who or where we are. None of us is all good, and none of us is all bad.

The goodness doesn't come at the "cost" of child molestation, however. Child molesters did the molestation, and selfish and incompetent and cowardly bishops covered it up - not all bishops, but enough so that it made a horrible mess of things.

But most of the people (Christian and otherwise) who work with the poor and homeless, the aging and the suffering, are courageous and generous people who had no responsibility whatsoever for the molestation of children - so, why blame them for this mess? Would you accept a kiss from a homeless person?
