It struck me more as an attack on the Catholic Church as a whole.

I can see both sides of it, and neither of you is going to win this argument. The Catholic church is not fundamentally about paedophilia, no matter how many priests have committed the crime or how many others have helped them cover it up. AND, paedophilia is Bad, and it's proven that priests/religious leaders have made many bad decisions/actions regarding the subject. Ok.
On the other hand, it's meant to be funny, so the above argument is a complete tangent from the spirit of the OP. If some found it offensive, fine, it is- humor often is. We should probably all just agree that it doesn't do anything to argue it out other than piss people off.

Perhaps the little "I'm just teasing, there's no God... " bit at the end didn't help. Mainly it's an extreme and admittedly facetious case of something guaranteed to set me off: Holding a Christian denomination (or prior to the Great Schism, the entire Body of Christ) responsible for acts of individuals (irrespective of the fact Christian doctrine specifically forbids those acts. )

"I know absolutely nothing about the Catholic Church" but it's a nice big easy target and I'm lazy.

I didn't say the Catholic Church was guitless, only that it wasn't founded for pedophilia.
