Baloney.
Catholic priests and religious leaders have a higher authority they answer to and are viewed as someone who can be trusted more than the other careers listed.
When a priest or a pastor abuses that position and relationship, it is incredibly more harmful than any other.
Souls are at stake, not only of those abused, but of those who are witness to the evil.

I agree with what you posted, especially, “When a priest or a pastor abuses that position and relationship, it is incredibly more harmful than any other.”
I was sexually molested by a Monsignor at 9 years old in the Sacristy (!) causing untold trauma ~ but the reason I posted this was to show the media disconnect from the facts ~ they present the case as if it is primarily Priests and pastors ~ regardless of the facts!
May you and yours have a blessed day.
Well said
“Souls are at stake, not only of those abused, but of those who are witness to the evil.”
Exactly my point for many years. Yes there are pedophiles/homosexuals in many arenas of daily life. However, the leadership of the Catholic Church was aware of many of these evil people and allowed it to continue. Yes the pedophile/homosexual is guilty of his crime, but heinous of an individual do you have to be to knowingly allow this to continue. These are not Christians who fear judgment! These are fallen individuals with a cushy job.
On the mark.
