It's not "others do it too". I see you people really like fabricating quotes. What it is however, is an attempt to rebut the idea being put forth that child molestation is an exclusively Catholic problem.
The problem is, you people get mad when any evidence is presented that shows that it is a lot more widespread OUTSIDE of the Catholic church.
It's almost if you people *don't care* when a child is molested outside of the church. But that would be cyncical of me to state, and since you people have *so much* class, I would never make that accusation.
Lastly, this is an article about people who *are accused*, not convicted, released by a lawyer who has a finacial interest in children being molested, and seeing that those numbers are as high as possible.
Actually, no. It would seem as if your fervor has put blinders on you. Your answer shows that you have not REALLY read the articles without a pre-determined slant on what they say. Let's see if I can say it plainly in a way you can understand:
Molestation of children is AWFUL - no matter who the predator is. But what is MORE AWFUL (f that is possible) is the coverup and the protecting of these predators by their organization that claims it represents the One True, Almighty God. And that the organization claims that one moment these perverts destroy the lives of children, but at the same time they can still be representatives of God - forever. That is outrage! It gives a most disgusting picture of the god these people and their protectors are serving.
Now you are making stuff up...That's not the issue at all...Never has been...If you are unwilling to discuss the issue, why even post at all???
Oh ya, it's called distraction, isn't it...
No one is saying it’s “exclusively” a Catholic problem. What we are saying is that the Catholic Church proposes to be the “only” church sanctioned by Christ and claim they are the source of all truth in religious matters. They claim the “vicar” of Christ is their head and that their priests can absolve of sin. No other entity claims those things.
Catholics can’t have it both ways. They can’t present themselves as the “only” true church and then cry like babies when they are actually held to a higher standard. It’s hypocritical. So which is it? Are they the "only true church" or are they "any other entity"?
Sure it is. See posts 2,3,4, and 5 this very thread. That's EXACTLY what all those posts say.

Show us where ANY of us said or implied that.

We do? How do you know that?

But you did anyway.

Did you even READ the article? Or did you choose to ignore this line......
“Many if not all these priests have admitted to sexual abuse,” Boucher said. “They live within a mile of 1,500 playgrounds, schools and daycare centers.”
