You seemed to overlook this statistic.

“Over 70 percent (of the credible offenders) entered the seminary before
1970.”

In other words men that came out of the closet in the liberal sexual revolution of the 60s. Queers entering the seminary, that’s the problem, get rid of the queers and you get rid of the majority of tbe sex abuse cases.
What is there about 81% you don’t understand. 81% of the offenders over a 52 year period were homosexuals. What is there about 4% you don’t understand? 4% of all the priests in the survey had credible accusation against them. If you have problems with these numbers contact the people who compiled the report.

You don’t seem to want to discuss the studies that show the very high percent of gay priests - anywhere from 28-58%

That means that about 1 out of every 3 priests you meet is gay.

Likely at your church.

Could be 1 out of every two you meet.

The Catholic Church has a requirement for priest to be celibate. In otherwords they take a vow that they can’t engage in any type of sex. That the vast majority of sex offenders are homosexuals, and the numbes prove it out. Where in tbe world would these figures come from. The Catholic Church for years has said if you have deep seated homosexual feelings you are rejected from the priesthood. The Church does not accept any man that says he’s a homosexual. In otherwords they lie to get accepted in
seminaries. Homosexual men are more promiscuous than straight men. That’s a fact. They go from one man to another and can’t control their perversions. . That’s one reason why so many serial killers turn out to be homosexual. So here’s some info on sex predators in Protestant churches, No faith, no segment of society is immune from it.

Strange: Some Catholics seem angrier at the ‘bashing’ than the fact that priests have been molesting little boys and the Roman Catholic hierarchy has been covering it up and protecting the guilty parties for DECADES.

......”identified more than 1,000 victims of 300 credibly accused priests”....in 6 of Pennsylvania’s Catholic dioceses”.........

Astounding figures for just 6 Dioceses! At what point does the membership of the entire Catholic Church stand up against this.... for their children?

It gives the appearance the membership cares more about protecting their priesthood than their children.

You are mistaken to think it's only homosexuals are the problem......pedophilia is as serious, unfortunately many in the church deny this..

Telling, isn’t it?

One begins to see why the problem has never been resolved.

This is what embracing OTC gives you.

Much like Democrats and their various victim groups, except going back centuries.

But all we hear is *Once a priest, always a priest*.

And: *They’re sinners just like the rest of us.*

Oh really?????

I don’t know about those Catholics but not in the circles I run in. I don’t make it a habit of hanging out with homosexual pedos. Nor do I engage in that kind of heinous debauchery and sin. Maybe THEY do that they can excuse it so blithely, but not me.

Nor would I continue to attend a church that enabled or condoned such behavior in its clergy. That’s not a church. that’s a stronghold of satan.

And Catholics have the nerve to claim their church is *holy* and *apostolic*.

Well, it isn’t holy by any means being infested with the kind of clergy it has, and I don’t see anywhere in Scripture where the apostles condoned behavior such as that. Or ANY habitual sin.

The hypocrisy is so staggering.

They are up in arms about someone who is divorced and remarried receiving communion, but have no problem with someone who have been molesting kids SERVING them communion, going as far as putting in their mouths with those very hands that molested those kids.

Disgusting beyond words.

And we’re the *haters* and *bashers* for objecting to the homosexual rape of minors by their priests who are SUPPOSED to be (claimed to be) Christ’s representatives on earth.

Satan must be laughing himself silly at what he’s done to the name of Christ by this situation.

Ironic that you try to cover for the actual homosexual priests by blaming it on others who provide cover for the rest of the homosexuals that commit crimes against youths....out in the jungle, one is aware that there are predators - being in Church isn’t supposed to be a Safari event for those who we put in our most intimate trust to collect their young ‘trophies’. Despicable becomes even more despicable when certain folks are doing it.

"The reason the media never tells you tbe offender is a fag is because they love homosexuality."

That's just one of the tools the commies are using to destroy the moral foundations of our country.. Trump is right, the media is indeed an enemy of the people....

I think he's saying, “If it wasn't for the queers the problem wouldn't be nearly as catastrophic as it has become... It would seem that queer is far more likely to be a pedophile...

“Disgusting.

Guess you are a Catholic Basher.”

So we have a different sense of humor.

Au contraire mon ami. I respect the catholic church for it’s beauty, history,rich sense of tradition, pageantry, and generally outstanding character development in young people.”Liberation theolgy”, father Michael Pfleger and the likes...not so much. I reserve the full weight of my wrath for ultra liberal protestant sects like United Merhodist Church, PCUSA etc. and especially dislike the Jimmy Swaggarts/Mike Murdochs of the world.

Are we still friends?

"One report suggested that since the mid-1980s Roman Catholic priests in the United States were dying from AIDS-related illnesses at a rate four times higher than that of the general population."

That's pretty telling....

But God forbid a divorced person wants to remarry

The treatment of heterosexual priests who broke their vows to marry women stands in sharp contrast to the treatment of homosexuals like McCarrick and all the rest who remain.

The former were treated viciously, being expelled from their homes and publicly scorned as traitors, while the latter were well taken care of.
