The same thing with scout leaders, teachers, and coaches - it is the position of authority to which the child rapists are drawn. Other religious denominations have the same problems, and have indicated to the Church that allowing married men doesn’t address the problem.
Your absolutely correct. The problem with child predators is seen throughout society, but it seems to run particularly deep within the Catholic priesthood.
Also the way leadership hid many cases and recycled these predators into other diocese and the millions secretly paid to victims to hush abuse allegations is quite troubling.
Not attempting to smear Catholicism, that is not my intent.
