"Even in the midst of the Catholic Church's current scandals -- including decades-old cases -- the Catholic clergy has about the same percentage of perverts as the Yale faculty. There are more than 45,000 priests in America and, so far, 55 exposed abusers. There are 836 tenured professors at Yale, and one proved child molester -- convicted just last month. That's still a higher percentage than the Boy Scouts, but the point is: It's not going to be easy to blame celibacy." - Ann Coulter

This comparison is devastatingly brilliant.

This article predates the case of the homosexual Duke University employee who was selling his adopted son to other men for sex.

The Church stat of 45,000 is even better because it’s not a static number. There have been more than 45,000 priests in the church since the 1960’s when the “guitar priests” infiltrated the church to avoid the Draft and stay in the closet. But the 55 number stands. The tenured profs at Yale? They probably have, as they say “vacancies by death, few. By retirement never”.
