And these are old numbers.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Even your own statistics back up what I said. The numbers included in these infractions by Protestants are committed by not only ministers but office workers, members of the congregation, and volunteers. And most infractions are heterosexual between consenting adults.

Whereas in the RCC, the infractions are with underage, non-compliant children (usually boys) and the acts are of a homosexual nature — i.e. rape.

There's no doubt in the world that such behavior is a result of the evil inclination which all of us have, regardless of religious beliefs or affiliation. However, as I understand it (and forgive me if I am wrong) the problem is not that such things happen, but how Catholic authorities react. The Protestants on this forum are saying it happens with their ministers too, but then those ministers get exposed and turned over to the authorities.

Part of the reason for the different reactions is that Evangelical Protestant churches tend to be independent and congregational. There's no other diocese to be shuffled to and no authority to do the shuffling. I imagine hierarchic Protestant churches (such as in the Anglican communion) would have statistics closer to those of the Catholic Church.
