I agree that it is only a few percent of priests that are pedophiles, but the percentage is much higher than in regular teachers or other religions as has been shown in Boston, and how do you know about any particular priest?
There is no problem in my family with the little ones taught by the nuns, but when it comes time to study for first communion and to go to high school, then the fight starts up.
People do think Southerners are stupid, and we just have to try to grow past it. The Church on the ther hand has the option of getting past this mess in months if they clean house ruthlessly, even if it leaves them short on priests for a few years.

And how do I know what the numbers are for regular teachers .. the media does not report on it .. and we all know that teachers are being passed from one school to another ..
However, this does not excuse the church and their behavior and yes they need to clean house big time and they will because it is in their face and there is no avoiding it
