Have you looked at the data comparing Protestant Clergy and Catholic Clergy and sexual misbehavior?

There's bad on both sides...

But one sides demands that it's priests be single and celibate, for life...And that same side covers it up from the top down when these incidents take place...Wanna guess what side that is???

And that same side covers it up from the top down when these incidents take place...

Interesting use of the present tense there.

I mean, since you have no proof.

"But one sides demands that it's priests be single and celibate,"

That is redundant. Celibate only means unmarried, it does not mean chaste. Sexual activity out of wedlock, whether extramarital or not, is a sin for a priest just as it is for any Catholic.

Shoot and move. Classic. FIRST scream and whine about problems in the Catholic Church. THEN admit the same problems exist among Protestant conventicles, but complain about celibacy.

Yes our side is the only side the largest of whose communions or rites insists on unmarried clergy. But having read of pederasty among married Hasidim in Brooklyn and having witnessed the cover up of various sorts of sexual misbehavior including pederasty and ephebephilia in non-Catholic Churches I'm not sure that there is any connection, material or statistical between the attempt at celibate chastity and perversion and its concealment.

The one historically undeniable connection is that those who think that, despite the words of Christ and Paul, everyone should be sexually active are united in their repudiation of The Catholic Church

As usual they skip the parts of the Bible that bother them. It's the Protestant way.
