There are many reasons but I think the primary reason is this:
While I accept the notion that a priest is only a man, he really is more than a man. He has sacrificed himself to God and is therefore holy. I should be able to trust my children with a priest more so than any other individual on the planet, perhaps more than myself. When a priest commits the wretched act of fornication or in the case of this post, the rape of a minor, he is violating that sacred holiness by desecration. It is far worse than if I raped a minor, I did not vow before God to set myself apart from all others and to be that earthly visage of celibacy, poverty, and obedience.
In short, they focus on the church because the church deserves the focus.
It is worse but, God knew that the church would have men as priests and, that means he knew the preisthood would be corrupted and need his followers to correct it
