I would wager that the instance of pedophilia and other forms of sexual predation runs at the same percentage across all populations. The church as an institution is guilty of covering this up which only makes things worse for all religious adherents. Case in point, in my church we recently had to kick out a couple who hid the fact that the husband was a twice convicted of child rape and once of sexual assault on an adult. He was defrocked for it by our denomination but no one in the heirarchy told us about it. Thank God it finally came to our attention because this guy was right in the middle of grooming his next victim and his wife who knew all about him never said a word about it to us. She was the treasurer of our church and a deaconess in the organization. And we are a very conservative church, too. The who thing was just shameful, to say the least.
