There are twice as many Protestant clergy serving prison terms for sexual offenses as there are Catholic priests serving time for the same reason.

That's true. While Protestant congregations were calling the cops, Catholic bishops were ferreting Fr. Fey out of town and on down the road, to a fertile new ground for his perversions.

The Catholic criminals are still out, roaming the streets.

You seem to have missed the point.

The rate of accusation - the rate at which victims, whether genuine or not, accused clergy of sexual abuse - was THREE TIMES that for Catholic priests. That may be the cause of a rate of conviction and imprisonment TWICE that of Catholic priests, since there were so many more allegations of abuse.

The Catholic criminals are still out, roaming the streets.

An interesting bit of innuendo evidencing angry bigotry, especially since you used present tense. Try calming down a bit...
