And what about your church?

It is estimated that priests are way down on the list even after Protestant ministers.

Remember that celibacy does not cause this great sin, it’s homosexuality.

Salvation, how many times are you going to pull that Rome v. Protestant rabbit out of your hat to try to prove a pointless point? I KNOW I've explained the difference SEVERAL times, and YET...ONE more time...

The DIFFERENCE between RCC abuse and Protestant abuse is the FACT that ROME declares the ability to retain or remit the sins of her followers. Thereby putting the abuse victim at the hands of a PRIEST in order to have their sins forgiven on their "road to salvation". Protestants have no such claim on her followers. DON"T YOU GET IT YET??!

Just an anecdote. Take it as you will. About 30 years ago an acquaintance decided he would go into the priesthood. So he left collage and went to whatever school it is that wannabe priests go to. Anyway, saw him a few mo’s later. He had decided that the priesthood wasn't for him.

Why not? He said that “all” of the other candidates were “fairies”.

No one has ever gotten you to publish the numbers of homosexual rapes by various denominations, why won’t you do that?

So far, it appears that the Catholic denomination suffers from a problem of homosexuality.

Estimations are meaningless...What is fact tho is that your religion is at the top of the list for aiding and abetting these criminals to keep them from prosecution and giving then new opportunities to find new prey...

The reason that this costs your religion so much is that it's never just a priest who is guilty, it's the entire diocese because the diocese is complicit...

You may want to open a window in that glass house of yours, Sal.
