"no doubt 100% of all priests, right?"

No, actually very, very few priests have been even accused of molesting children, not to say CONVICTED. The percentage of CONVICTED public school teachers is a number much larger than those accused priests. THAT ought to worry people, it doesn't Why?

[Revolting cat!]

It gets worse, actually. I read an estimate somewhere saying that perhaps as much as 70% of all accusations are false.

So, think now. 100 priests accused, by 70 people. Or 50 priests accused by 70 people. 70% of those priest are accused falsely. 70% of accusers are liars. Liars hoping for a big payday outnumber the molesters by 2 to 1. Where, I ask, is the real scandal?!

Problems in *both* area ought to concern the public, but why stop there? Name any "trusted" organization where you find children, you will find infiltration by predators.

You are correct. The Church did not act fast enough when it came to priests who molested children and that upsets me. But the MSM attempts to show that ALL priests are molesters when there are other groups, professions where the problem is worse. When a minister of another denomination molests a child that is not news, but when a priest is accused it is on the front page.

Not all seminaries are tolerant of homosexuality nor do they preach or promote socialism. Do seminaries teach social justice, yes, taking care of the poor, the orphan and widowed, as the OT says. (No I am not a democrat)
