You are conflating institutions with individuals and if thats how it works you just became guilty for all the sins of your government and any group you've ever belonged to.
To be fair, paedophilia is not part of Catholic doctrine, it’s an evil byproduct of enforced celibacy and a broken system. While some of the crimes within Catholic Church are abhorrent that doesn’t necessarily mean that ordinary Catholics are evil, nor that they shouldn’t be allowed to practice their religion freely.
No need to throw the baby out with the bath water in these situations. The same is true of Islam and Islamic extremist terrorism. By the same token, the good that these religions bring to the world through charity and social care does not mean they are all entirely virtuous. Like everything in life they are multifaceted.
Freedom of religion is of fundamental importance to a civilised society, and I say that as a passionately unreligious person.
