"Hate to break the news to you, but Catholics have been busted for lewd acts moreso than any other denomination. The Lavander Mafia has taken over the preisthood. Denial aint just a river in Egypt."

Hmmm...I am not sure I am the one in denial here, Clemenza. Are you so naive as to believe everything you don't read? You obviously seem to fall into that camp of folks who believe that the RCC priests perpetrate these crimes moreso than any other religion but probably have no idea how often these things occur in other religions/sects. Yes, you HEAR more about RCC priests committing these crimes than any other denomination, but are you in a state of mind such that you will swallow this hook, line, and sinker without using any individual thought and reasoning? Other incidents do not get reported on a national scale because the RCC is in the limelight of mainstream scrutiny due to its defiance of left-wing values... Please fight the temptation to graze in the pastures with the other sheeple, blissfully ignorant to the reality being glossed over by the MSM...

1. If "defiance of left wing values" were a problem, the MSM would be going after the Southern Baptists and the Mennonites, not the "big tent" that is the Catholic Church.

2. The prevalence of a disproportionate amount of Gays in the Catholic Clergy has been known for some time, and has been documented.

3. Look at police reports in any city for reports of clergymen getting busted for sexual misconduct. Catholic Priests make up the largest share of offenders. The Miami Herald once did a story that showed the number of Priest who have been busted for sexual misconduct (largely with other men) compared to other faiths.

4. Maybe if those nancy boys in robes and collars wouldn't have covered for their bretheren all of these years, then the Catholic priesthood would not have this reputation.

In the Protestant church there are plenty of allegations of sexual child abuse, but most of the alleged abusers are not clergy or staff, but church VOLUNTEERS.

A little googling on your part would find that while they are not reported on a "national scale" there are groups that are compiling local news reports on Non-Catholic cases.The problem in the Catholic Churches is numerous internal and external sources estimate that between 25% and 50% of the 42,000 priest in the US are Homosexual.The numbers in other religions are more like the population in general(2% and 3%).

To be a Protestant Pastor it is an unwritten requirement that one be married.This requires an increased commitment to sinning vs. the Catholic who looks at the Priesthood as an escape from his demons through celibacy.
