Sorry, but I'm afraid you're only one of many Catholic and ex-Catholics here, so you do not necessarily "know them best".
You think you must have been an "ugly alter boy"?
No, it's far more likely you were just with one of the vast majority of Catholic priests (94%) who are NOT pedophiles.

As this article and others explain, Catholic priests are not only NO more likely to molest than the clergy of other religions, they are no more likely than OTHER MEN to molest children.
Have a nice one.
