There are over 410,000 Catholic priests in the world. What's the historical rate of involvement in these scandals? Between 1.5 and 5%, which is comparable or less among protestant churches and other groups.
Christian Science Monitor had an article on this very thing: Sex abuse spans spectrum of churches
Reality: you hear disproportionately about the Catholic Church scandals because the church is a very old, large, patriarchal force for morality and Christian tradition. The stories are perfect headline bait and further the progressive's agenda to undermine a conservative tradition rooted in moral absolutes with over a billion adherents.
That is simply wishful thinking on the part of Rome, according to our own lying eyes.
Dozens and dozens of pederast priests in ONE U.S. CITY, sometimes two and three pederast priests in the same parish.
Over $700 million paid out on one day in Los Angeles to settle priest sex abuse cases.
Over three billion dollars in criminal penalties assessed so far.
And that number grows every day.
Read the Grand Jury's report. This is a systemic, institutionalized, historic evil at the heart of the RCC priesthood which believes itself to be an "alter Christus."
"Another Christ."
No wonder their sins are so scarlet. And as long as members of the RCC look for reasons to protect these child-raping sinners and excuse their death-loving sins, the sickness will continue to infect not only these priests, but the children they are charged to protect.
But other churches report these crimes to the police. They fire errant pastors who then are tried and convicted and sent to jail.
What do you call a pederast priest?
A Father.
What do you call a pederast minister?
An inmate.
Rome has written and enforced Crimen Sollicitationis which clearly says the papal oath of secrecy is given to everyone involved in this crime, including the victim and his family who are threatened with excommunication if they tell anyone about this sexual abuse except a bishop.
No police. No teachers. And in fact, not even a parent if they don't already know. The victim is sworn to complete secrecy.
If this were ANY other institution but Rome performing these sins and shutting down all investigation, they would be in jail and the keys thrown away.
