FACT: The percentage of child abusers among Catholic priests is between 2 and 4%, which is no different from the percentage among any other group of Christian clergy.

He has no business criticizing what he perceives as American decadence
Oh, and this is a perfect example of the left's moral idiocy: "nobody can criticize me unless they, themselves, are perfect". The Democrats trotted out that goofy mantra when they announced that Bill Clinton's lies under oath about sex were off-limits because Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife. (Huh?)
Here's some clear thinking, something you obviously have never been exposed to: If something is wrong, it doesn't matter if the worst sinner in the world points out to you that it's wrong. IT'S STILL WRONG!.
The Pope is dead-on right in what he says. He could be Satan incarnate in the body of Adolf Hitler, for all it matters, and that wouldn't alter the moral truth of his message, any more than it would make 2+2 equal to 9 if a mathematical incompetent told you that 2+2 was 4. Morality is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of objective fact ... at least for conservatives.
Great to see that you've absorbed the DNC talking points, as vapid and stupid as they are.
This statement is open to a lot of interpretation.

DO you have the cite for your statement?
