I believe the important fact is that no matter how corrupt the church and the hierarchy, the average Catholic defends their church no matter what.

If Catholics denounced AND defunded their church, then I would welcome them. Of course, if they did these things, then they would be de facto Protestants, lol.

The issue is that Catholics place their church above morality, and in doing so, they place it above God.

Agreed, I have talked to a few about their putting a man between themselves and God (confession), worshipping Mary, and essentially worshipping the Pope, all in contrast to what the Bible teaches, and not one could see the issue with those things.

Once I recognized idolatry as a sin, a lot of things made sense. In fact, discovering the truth about brought me to Christianity.

See, there's no divergence between natural law and God's law. There's no conflict, there can't be. The truth is the truth. I assumed that God was a fiction most of my life and I worked very hard to defend this position, but nothing made sense. I always ended up arriving at some axiom or another, or some paradox. What I found was that at the deepest roots of science, the theories were built upon assumptions formed by moral inclinations. What I've found is that there are those whose moral cores embrace blasphemy, and those who don't.

Idolatry is simply the overt practice of expressing blasphemy. It is the need to believe that the map is more true than the terrain, the the definition is more true than the word. Idolatry is the embracing of the symbol rather than what the symbol represents.

The truth is that that we cannot ever fully understand the truth. We will never be truth's masters.

No matter what, our decisions are always based on our undefined moral sense. Every mistake we make is when we ignore that sense. Education is nothing more or less than a systematic destruction of our innate moral senses. We take children who understand that trannies are monsters, children who fear the pedo clergy, and we brainwash them into denying their moral sense until we end up with Redditors and antifa and PUAs.

This is all idolatry. We believe that we can define our reality and embrace it rather than the truth; that we can game life and do whatever we wish and not ever be held to account.
