“”What this research tells us, however, is that Clergy Sexual Misconduct with adults is a widespread problem in congregations of all sizes and occurs across denominations.”

Seems to say “across denominations”.

When you insert “Protestant” into the headline,
it is disingenuous. Even our own RC church has
had terrible problems with sexually immoral priests -
and the extended cover-up of the same. I’m not
sure what would motivate you to post “protestants”...

best,

Because “sexual misconduct” is cliche to Catholic Priests, haven’t you noticed?

The MSM like the Priest on Altar Boy scenario. So they push it. Yet, non-Catholic clergy have problems too. As do Public School teachers. But it’s the Catholics that have the problem in many people’s minds.

Some people are appauled at Catholics yet have no problem sending a kid to their own church for Youth Group campouts, summer camp or Public School. This is showing there is a problem everywhere, not just with us.

Is it not accurate?
