More deflection. More “but they all do it.”

37 priests in one city in one diocese.

The error is to think this diocese is exceptional. It’s much more likely to be illustrative of the majority of them.

Maybe that diocese had a protector and enabler somewhere in the hierarchy so they all ended up there. Or maybe they're all friends and made sure they could protect each other.

What you'll find in statistics is that you usually need more than one sample cell (in this case a diocese) to work out your statistical norms.

You know very well your typical pedophile is NOT A LONER.

The RCC is just a larger target. Those women in all those public schools certainly prove the phenomenon is quite widespread although DC did have a "nest" several years back who got caught. Vermont, for example, has several judges who appear to have the job of turning these guys loose and you'll never hear Senator Leahy, for another example, criticizing any of his fellow Democrats who are soft on pedophiles.

[muawiyah]

And again, why are you protecting the same Philadelphia government that sought to open up the Boy Scouts to pedophile attacks.

It's not a case of "they all do it", but Philadelphia does seem to have a nest of pedophiles in positions of authority.

You can't excuse the city government and the local prosecutors for what they tried to do to the Boy Scouts by pointing to what they see to be doing to the RCCC now.

These two acts must be reconciled.
