We've never had a situation where 12% of our priests had sex with the members and 40% had inappropriate contact. These are from the Baptists themselves.

(Most) Baptists don't consider themselves Protestant. Would you slander those pastors and congregations that came out of the Reformation for the ills of the Baptists?

Should all Catholic parishes be measured by the standards set by the Diocese of Boston?

You did. Here:

From the figures and statistics I've studied, any given Catholic priest (historically) is four times more likely to molest an underage child (either sex) than any given "non-hierarchical" pastor.
