Abuse done by religious leaders is far worse than when done by average people.

Just about any human agrees with that, better to be assaulted by a stranger, than your Priest at church.

What your site said was “” “In fact, married men are just as likely as celibate priests to sexually abuse children” “”

You find religious solace in that?

“Abuse done by religious leaders is far worse than when done by average people.”

Really?! I disagree.

“Just about any human agrees with that, better to be assaulted by a stranger than your Priest at church.”

Really?! I’ve never been sexually abused but I’m guessing the resulting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,confusion and other problems is similar whether a person has been assaulted by Daddy Joe, Father Joe, or Stranger Joe.

“You find religious solace in that?”

You’re the one trying to find solace based on who the abuser is.

I don’t know your motive, but you seem to want the abuse committed by priests to be thought of as worse than the abuse committed by anyone else, and I just don’t buy it.
