Let me start by saying I have not seen this documentary and probably never will.
I think a more logical sequence would be that having to deal with all the pedophilia issues caused Benedict's health to so seriously deteriorate that he was forced to step down. Sadly, I do believe that the majority of priests are good, honorable men but the bad seeds were protected far too long and for all the wrong reasons. It has hurt the Church in so many ways and I'm not sure it will ever recover (but, then, the Church has recovered from horrific politics, nepotism, the Crusades, the Inquisition and extreme anti-Semitism. It might recover from this as well).
