I’ll upvote you for the sentiment, but any brief consideration of the scope of the church worldwide yields a significantly broader and more accessible footprint than the top tier of wealth hoarders. The valuation of the church versus those individuals is probably equal, though.
To add, not just the scope in geographical terms, but also the fact that they have been around for more than a thousand years. Several (not all) of the abusing priests were abused themselves. It’s a rot that has roots measured in centuries, and I doubt we will ever see the full extent of it.
With Epstein’s iceberg exposed, I’m not even sure they are the biggest.

True enough. I concede the notion.
Epstein is a few hundred, the Catholic Church has 6,000 pedos caught just in the USA.
