So what is the point of the article?

     The purpose of this special report is to put the recent scandal in the Catholic Church in perspective.

IN PERSPECTIVE - i.e., to present the facts that are known about sexual abuse.  It is after all, right at the top of the article.
It does not seek to exculpate anyone who had anything to do with priestly sexual misconduct, but it does seek to challenge those who continue to treat this issue in isolation.

You keep yipping about "this article says, the point of the article...."  It seems pretty clear that at least one of these conclusions can be reached:

What is the point of putting it in prespective according to other denominations amount of abusive people? I honestly cannot see a point to that.

I did excerpt part of the article (i.e #40) my posts. Your saying I didn't shows you haven't read all the posts. I will be honest also, and say I did not read the whole article.

Alot of my responses have been directed at the catholic responses to the article.
