"The best Catholics can come up with is "others do it too" and you think those "statistics" make the abuses in the Catholic Church somehow less egregious?"

"The best I can come up with"...That's an odd way of putting it. Many FR Protestants take a perverse delight in abuses that occur in the Catholic Church, and point to it as evidence that the Catholic Church is foul and corrupt. It just doesn't fit the narrative certain people love to spout that abuse occurs more in Protestant Churches, does it?

I condemn any in church leadership who abuse. I do not however see any Protestant church consistently proclaim to be the only true church nor do they claim infallibility for any of their leadership.
