I have not equated the two, but there is a parallel. Both teachers and priests are entrusted to look out for our children. they are both entrusted to teach our children. they are both entrusted to look out for the welfare of our children.
We have a similar trend of improper sexual conduct between people who are supposed to be looking out for our children in both the Catholic priesthoood and the public school system. You're trying to say it's different because of the kind of sex the respective groups were involved in, I'm saying it's a similar violation regardless of the particular sex act because both sets of instances involve a violation of trust. Sex is sex is sex. It matters little whether you find one sex act more perverted than another; what matters in this discussion is that adults entrusted wiith peoples' children had sex with their children. It sounds to me like it would be okay with you if a priest had sex with a 12 year old girl because they'd be having heterosexual sex..
the few times that sex abuse cases came up regardng the Catholic church was enough for the media to begin decrying the church as a whole, and thereby begin a long period of fomenting dissent in the ranks. I don't see such an outcry in this instance and there should be: the Public schools have been gettiing away with their own brand of corruption for too long. Now they've got teachers sleeping with students. Where's the outrage?
