There's a reason why the main enemy of Jesus was the Jewish hierarchy and not the government. Jewish priests started making ridiculous rules that weren't bibicly sound and they started abusing their power and stealing the offerings of it's people. The most pissed off Jesus got was at the church, Mathew 21:12, he flipped tables and chairs and threw everyone out of the temple. If you have a hierarchy in the church there will be corruption and that corruption makes the church look bad. The Catholics seem to be taking over the Jewish hierarchy and making up their own rules and becoming corrupt. Instead of demonizing the priests that rape and kicking them out of the church, they try to cover it up so the Vatican doesn't look bad to the public. If the church truly followed Jesus' teachings, their would not be a governing body over everyone and their wouldn't be so many sects of the christian church. The heirarchy should be God, then Priests, then the people. No need for all the other drivel.
It's not just the Catholic church that are are corrupt, but their hierarchy is global and not just local like many other Christian sects, thus they get more attention.
