Archbishop Foley, president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications,....said he was "shocked and surprised" by the John Jay College study that said 4 percent of priests had been accused of abuse. "Even one case is shocking and surprising, but 4 percent is very disappointing," he said. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/abuse/abuse11.htm

People aint perfect. Christians are people and aren’t perfect.

That said I feel a lot safer taking my children to church then to the mall.

i wonder how much higher the rate of pastor/minister abuse is? since you don't have bishops or an organized hierarchy, who exactly are your spokespersons and superiors?
