(Pedophilia) is isn't more common among Catholic priests than in other segments of the general population.

You have data to support this contention?

The statement: "There's absolutely no evidence that priests are more likely to abuse children than are other groups of men." does not mean that sexual abuse is not more common among priests, it means the evidence is lacking.

It's tough to study a closed society, so I doubt a study would be even feasible.

Now, I do see.

The evidence may be lacking, but let's assume the worst, anyway. And, while we're at it, let's ignore the agenda of those who hate the Catholic Church.

What a bunch of suckers.
