Why are allegations of sexual abuse leveled against the Catholic church more than any other religion?

This article, detailing 300 ‘Predator Priests’ in Pennsylvania.

I’ve seen accusations here and there of other denominations, but they seem to be isolated incidents, not systematic abuse spanning decades—even centuries.

What is it about the nature of the Catholic Church that seems to foster an atmosphere where this can be so prevalent?
