Issues with abuse crisis

As the title states, I've struggled with how to deal with the abuse crisis in my faith life. I recently came across the sunstack of msgr gene gomulka and his survivor advocacy. Now I know that responses to abuse have gotten much better, and we are more aware issues now, but it still hurts to hear stories of the hierchy stonewalling.

My diocese went through this when I was in middle school and I went to a famous church in the area, and they're would often be protesters or the news there. This was pretty traumatizing as a kid.

I also get mad when people makes statements like, most Catholic priests are gay, and other untrue statements. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?
