What is noteworthy is that many non-Catholic Christians have acted as though Catholic priests abuse children at a far higher rate than other clergy, and other people, which is simply not true. People have then used this lie to criticize priestly celibacy, among other things.
Why has the Catholic Church been singled out?
Why not stepfathers?
Why not teachers?
Why not ministers?
Why not rabbis?
Clearly, the reason why the Catholic Church is being singled out for criticism is because She is the largest, most visible Church standing squarely against the agenda of the liberal media.
