Exorcism is the combatting of an invisible and intangible foe that hates the Church because the foe is of Satan. If people who work for the Church remove the invisible and intangible, but mentally troublesome, demons from people's lives, the Church looks good and, while it might not charge for each exorcism per se, who wouldn't want to make a charitable donation to an establishment that has saved so many people from Satan?
Child abuse, including child molestation, has often been committed against real, little people by real, bigger people who happen to work for the Church. Admitting to that child abuse is an expensive prospect that makes the Church look bad.
You don't have to have an accounting degree to know why the Church would rather believe that demons are real than that the easily discounted testimony of powerless children is real.
That's also why the rest of the conglomerate simultaneously promotes sexual harassment, stalking and rape while calling the people who protest those crimes crazy liars. If you do away with those crimes by defining them as not being crimes, you don't have to spend money doing these things:
-training employees not to commit those crimes
-training human resources departments to investigate those crimes
-replacing employees who commit those crimes
-training law enforcement to investigate those crimes
-having trials to prosecute those crimes
-paying for lawsuits because you failed to prevent those crimes
Apparently, "What the hell" is literally a lucrative attitude.
