I’m not sure what would motivate you to post “protestants”...

(Petronski) "Is it not accurate?"

It is not only not an accurate quote of the headline it is a downright dishonest representation "edited" by NYer in a deliberate attempt to mislead the reader to believe the story is exclusive to Protestants only.

From the article in question:

Survey Reveals Prevalence of Clergy Sexual Misconduct

And the final paragraph:

"Clergy sexual misconduct was defined as minister, priests, rabbis, or other clergypersons or religious leaders who make sexual advances or propositions to persons in the congregations they serve who are not their spouses or significant others."

If you are aware of the percentages to be assigned to
minister
priests
rabbis
other clergypersons

please state them.

That is attributing motive to another Freeper, which is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Suddenly the anti-Catholic crowd becomes very particular about statistics.

Amazing.
