Wow. You even post your invective against the Catholics in a thread critical of the Protestants. You don’t stop. But nice try to point the floodlights in the other direction.
The article reads that there are upwards of 260 reports of sex abuse in the protestant churches per year. In the Catholic church, however, the article points out that there has been 13,000 cases of child molestation since 1950. Whipping out the ole calculator and figuring out the average per annum for the Catholic Church reveals 232 cases per year (13,000/56).

We have no idea of how many are done in the Catholic church each year as they "self insure" on this and because many are homosexual and the young boys are reluctant to point at a "man of God" and then there is the fear of being seen as "gay" . And then there are the reported ones that are settled and swept under the carpet and the priest reassigned to where no one knows him and who can re-offend.

The question is not the sin of the offender it is the sin of the church that covers it up and allows them to escape the legal system and public scrutiny .

If these churches are reporting it to their insurance company you had better believe they have also revealed it to the congregation and the denomination and the police. The insurers would want to know that the man or woman had been removed from the insured employed before continuing coverage.

The difference is the Catholic church hides the sin , Protestants confront the sin and sinner as scripture orders.What is done in the dark is brought to the light !
