**The problem with the Catholic Church seems to be the inability to acknowledge that there are bad apples in the priesthood who commit very serious crimes and who need to be dealt with firmly. **

What about the bad apples in families, in schools, in Protestant ministry? What should happen with them? Can you be an impartial judge? Oh, I remember Christ said something like "Judge not, lest you be judged."

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.

Catholic excuse #4.

“4. Other groups molest children more than we do.”

All abuse is wrong, look at my profile.

I make no excuse for the abuse of Children nor should other FReepers regardless of their faith.
