Do you know how many priests there are in the US? Could there possibly be 3000 abusers?

The number 3000 is derived from a report that says one percent of all priests have sexual attraction to minors or are in fact pedophiles. The Jenkins Report (Jenkins is a non-Catholic) for the Archdiocese of Chicago actually said the number of pedophiles in the priesthood accounted for .01 per cent of the priests in America with his number at about 470 priests. Of course, that is 470 too many -- 470 who should have been weeded out along the way. But the number of homosexual and homosexually active priests is really unknown although everyone knows there is a "lavendar mafia" and a homosexual sub-culture within the Church in America. I pray the Pope will declare that homosexuals cannot ever be ordained to Holy Orders. And I pray for divine chemotherapy for the Church to irradicate this homosexual and liberal cancer.
