Sexual immorality within non-Catholic denominations, especially in the cases that I have been personally aware of, are more along the lines of garden variety adultery between a male and female adult, not the homosexual rape of children.

Nope, apples and oranges. Actually the incidences of priest misbehavior along these lines fall much more along homosexual lines that paedophilia....chicken hawks as they call themselves, preying on young, near or post adolescent boys. I'm sure that priests are also guilty of relationships with adults of the opposite sex, but this discussion concerned incidents of sex with minors, and the Catholics are still far behind,IN NUMBERS, than the aforementioned groups

Semantics will not excuse them either.

Like it makes it any better that they were *older*?

I don't think so.
