Pedophilia is a human behaviour. Should we all stop being human because some choose to behave in this disgusting way?

I don't know any catholics who condone pedophilia. All the ones I know are appalled and are calling for answers.

I wonder what religion all the other pedophiles are? What makes anyone here think the catholic church has some exclusive responsibility for this problem? The whole of society has to deal with this.

Putting money in the plate is not condoning pedophilia. It's contributing to your local parish in order to help those who need help. Should that aid be withdrawn by good people, causing the needy to suffer more, just because some catholics have done the wrong thing? If you answer yes you probably need to consider your own values.
