There is no church, even the Reformed Church, that is free of similar scandals.

No other church or denomination can compare in sheer number or cover ups

All men are sinners, but unlike priests we do not claim to act as Christ..

BS. The religion of public education far exceeds the aggregate and percentage of criminals masquerading as Priests. However, that denomination; with it's capped liability limits, of atheists isn't a target of your cabal.

There are 1.15 billion Roman Catholics.

The next largest Christian communion are the Eastern Orthodox, who nominally have 210 million members.

The third are the Baptists with 105 million, the fourth Lutherans with 87 million and the fifth Anglicans with 82 million.

The Catholic Church is thus five times larger than any other communion and more than ten times larger than most other major communions.

No priest makes such a claim.

Christ acts through them - but this is the nature of any ministry. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:10 - "I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."

Like Paul, Catholic priests rightly acknowledge that their ministry is not really theirs, but Christ's.
