Zemo,
You wrote: "2%-4% of the Catholic Latin clergy by your estimation are child rapists and you don't call that an epidemic?"
You said it was an epidemic. I asked for proof it was. You provided none. Whether I think it is horrible or not (and I do think it horrible) does not make it an epidemic.
"That you don't like the semantics is your problem."
I like the truth. You like semantics. In fact you like relativism. Words have real meanings. Use them as they should be used. That's what people who believe in truth do. Try it.
You said it was an epidemic.
Damn right I did - what is it to you? Peachy keen?
