Only the Catholic church has pedophiles? Its gotten me thinking
Why don't we hear about this type of abuse from/in other churches or religions?

No, the difference being that the catholic church used it's infrastructure to cover up abuse and allowed it to continue. They maintained a policy of secrecy and helped pedophiles come in contact with more victims, while other churches, like the JW's enacted policies about notifying legal authorities of crimes (not merely "sins") committed.
