The most probable pedophiles in order are:

Fathers
Teachers
Coaches
Protestant ministers

Priests are way down on the list.

So if a Father is a teacher of mid-high history, coaches the girl’s basketball team and is a youth minister at his church on weekends/Sundays — watch out! He would be much more prone to pedophilia that any priest.

What are you basing your post on?

Sorry, but your breakdown of who is more prone to pedophilia is a straw man. First of all, none of the "titles" you mention take a vow of celibacy except the Catholic priest you mention. None of the others make a solemn promise to abstain from any and all sexual activity for the ministry of God.

Secondly, nobody has ever said that sexual perversion doesn't exist across all areas of society. We are a sinful, perverse, depraved and rebellious creation outside of the transformational power of the Holy Spirit of God. We are all sinners and I have not heard or read of anyone saying sexual molestation of children is ever acceptable regardless of role. Besides, it is a CRIMINAL offense.

Lastly, this "probable pedophiles" list is based on what evidence? According to whom? And, to repeat, none of the list outside of Roman Catholic priests takes a VOW before God and men to abstain from all sex, do they?
