Well, according to last Friday's New York Times, there are 46,000 Catholic priests in the United States; 30 percent to 50 percent of Catholic seminarians are gay; and lawyers for victims "claim to have lists of more than 1,000 priests accused of abuse in the United States." If you assume the worstthat only 30 percent of priests are gay Worst case is more like 1-2% are gay. Where do they come up with 30-50%???? It is amazing how they create facts to make a point.

"Worst case is that 1% - 2% are gay."
I think it's more than that, but I have never, ever before heard an estimate of 30% - 50% gay priests, and I agree they are making up statistics, i.e., lieing, in order to further their point.
