Of course there are.
And given a Church with 1.15 billion members and more than a million clergy, there will probably always be a certain number of predators who manage to avoid detection for years.
My problem is with the implication of all this coverage, and that implication is that there are thousands of predators rampaging freely within the Church as the Pope assists them in covering up their actions.
The reality is that it is very difficult to catch predators dead to rights - and just because a predator is one's employee and that predator has managed to escape detection it does not mean that his boss was personally implicated in his crimes.
When a public school teacher is arrested for molesting a child, the immediate journalistic reaction is not: "Why did the president of the county school board allow this person to teach?"
There is usually no blanket assumption that a criminal's actions were common knowledge to his employers.
Unless the criminal is a Catholic priest - in that case his employer is considered guilty until proven innocent.
It's this double standard that grates.
Why quote the number of teachers who molest their students? How does that equate to clergy who do the same?
