>The only reason the Catholic church had more than it's fair share, compared to other religions, is because of its size.<

You could use these numbers to explain why the Catholic Church would have more Homosexuals among its membership but it does not work for ministry problem.The Southern Baptist have more congregations in the United States than Catholics have Priests.(45,000 vs. 42,0000)It is a safe assumption their are in excess of 80,000 full time Southern Baptist ministers in the US.

If you add all of the Non-Catholic ministers together they probably out number Catholic Priest 3 or 4 to 1.I guess I should stop now.These figures seem to point to 25% of the ministry being responsible for 75%(swag)of the problem.

There have been 110,000 full-fledged priests in the Catholic Church in the US since 1952. Nine hundred and twenty-nine have been accused, not convicted of a sex crime from 1952 until now. Less than 1% of them have been accused.

How many Baptist preachers have been accused of or found guilty of a sex crime? http://www.reformation.com/CSA/hallock1.htm
