Yes he is mischaracterizing.


First - it would be fair to say "a few Catholic priests" - the percentage is not really that high but high in profile.

Second - it would probably be more accurate to say "a few Homosexual Catholic Priests"

and Third - have a problem molesting (with the hopes of recruiting) young adolescent and preadolescent males (not pediophiles per se you understand but homosexuals drawn to young males).

You said, "First - it would be fair to say "a few Catholic priests".

Only if you understand the word "few" to mean several thousands.

According to the John Jay report commissioned by the U.S. bishops, allegations of sexual abuse were made in 1950-2002 against 4,392 priests. The number is generally believed to underestimate the prolem.
