**Pedophilia Only a Catholic Sin?**
NO
**data for Protestant churches is available only for the last seven years.**
Hmmm
**And please note Pastor’s can marry.**
Which makes them all the more apt to abuse children.
Think about this:
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.
But, but, but that does not support the real agenda.
Nope. You left two out at the top.
Mom's boyfriend.
Step-father.
Way out in front of biological fathers.
Notice the equation: celibacy = pedophilia. The notion that letting priests marry will solve the problems the priesthood has faced since 1965 is false. The collapse in morale suffered by priests after Vatican II was caused by radical reforms that seemed to make their special mission meaningless. The aim seems to be to redefine their role so as to make it virtually the same as that of Protestant ministers. Except that Protestants see ministers as simply law persons vested with a special office, not people set apart by special graces, by employees of a church or congregation rather than persons vested with authority by bishops who are themselves vested with authority by Christ himself.
In short, Protestant ministers are thought to have a calling which is higher than but not different in kind from the calling of a teacher or lawyer or a plumber. A priest on the other hand IS thought to be someone permanently marked as another man is marked by his vows of marriage or every Christian is marked by baptism.
