I suppose that without the little altar boys and without the cloistered celibacy that problem is not really happening among biblical Christians. Since all manner of non-catholic kooky cults, television “evangelists”, and emerging church heretics are usually included under the term “Protestant”, I have no idea how bad the situation might be in those errant groups. But, it is at epidemic proportions in the Roman crowd.

Mainline Protestants have followed the excellent Catholic program started a decade age and are doing fine. I suggest you do your own research on the rest. I’ve given you a heads start.
Um, no, it's not. In the past 50 years, when the abuse that has been uncovered occurred, the total percentage of priests involved in any abuse was not more than 2%.
The effects of liberal attitudes on the Catholic Church were big, and many times deleterious, but we're seeing movement back to faithfulness, and away from the progressivism that gave rise to much of that abuse.
