The number of teachers/educators that are molesters is much higher than clergy.

That may be true, but when did you ever hear of a school board hiding the teacher from the public and then transferring the teacher to another school district so they can molest again?? That teacher would be arrested immediately, and probably fired before the charges were handed down in court, let alone wait for a trial. If that teacher was a Priest, he would be just transferred, not arrested.

If if that is wrong in history, show me, because I never heard of it.

"That teacher would be arrested immediately, and probably fired before the charges were handed down in court, let alone wait for a trial."

Not true. I had an associate who spent the majority of his time fighting (successfully) to ensure that teachers who molested their students were allowed to continue teaching.

Secondly, don't you recognize that the people most disgusted and mortified about molestation of any kind at the hands of priests are Catholics, who in many cases have children who could have been the objects of that molestation?

Please take the time to reflect on the number of times the subject of molestation by priests is mentioned on this site and the number of times any of the threads do NOT resort to bashing the Catholic Church.

I don't lie or play the cover-up game made so popular and effective by our perverted/impeached former president of our nation. But I am very sensitive to a blanket indictment against the Holy Catholic Church based on the criminal, immoral, despicable behavior of a few members of our hierarchy.

Why do you think JMJ333 made a sincere request for prayers for our Church to be more proactive in identifying and culling morally devoid "human beings" who also happen to be priests. And how was JMJ333's humble request answered.........with mockery and sarcasm, which provides more evidence that many seek not a solution, but a forum to spew their hatred of the Catholic Church.

Well when I went to Bristol Eastern(maybe you've heard of it?)there was a teacher who got a student pregnant. The girl had an abortion. The girls parents found out about it. Everyone was aware at the school of what happened but the parents of the girl never filed charges because the father is a prominent lawyer and the daughter was a well known athlete and the parents didn't want to be dragged through the mud. The teacher was still teaching when I graduated. There was a different case when I was in high school too but in that case the teacher was busted and gone.
