Are Hollywood or Washington any better? I think recent scandals are sufficient evidence that any large human organization is going to suffer from serious misconduct by powerful people.

And that is in fact another (even better) example of selective coverage. That cover up by the CC has received vastly more coverage than churches doing good things.

The topic was about the decline of the churche as a space for social connection, a role it has held for centuries across nearly every Christian community worldwide.

How do you manage to wrangle "Hollywood" and "Washington" out of that?

I was discussing a broader topic, but if you want to narrow it to just that: how do you think scandals in the Catholic Church caused the decline of the church as a space for social connection in mostly Protestant America?
