Why do they try so hard to make the church look bad?

But these people are supposed to represent the Church. Listen, I understand that there a lot of good priests who are genuine good people and are disgusted by this stuff. The problem is though that these people have a position of power in their religion and they are supposed to behave according to the creed of their religion. This is what disgusts me personally. It is the same as Islam, you have the extremists in the middle east who make everyone believe all Muslims are terrorists. I know a lot of Muslims who are disgusted by what these extremists do. It happens in most religions.
