That is not an argument.

Many priests are not pedophiles. By the way, this research by Hofstra University's Charol Shakeshaft ought to be more generally recognized: "The figures suggest that the physical sexual abuse of students in [public] schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."

That's why I tend to conclude that those who free-associate priest with pedophile are probably either sincerely unaware of the facts, or, very uncommonly I hope, bigots.
