Priests are way down on the list.

The only list I see here is one unsubstantiated by any facts or even statistics.

What statistics are you using to make claims such as these?

As far as I know, there are no "good" statistical numbers to make a comparison between Protestant and RC clergy on the issue of the sexual abuse of minors. Your links certainly don't show info that would make a comparison possible.

Tell me -- do you think that if a lie is repeated often enough it becomes the truth?

Sure there are; sexual malpractice among Protestant clergy is 5x to 10x more prevalent than among Catholic clergy. I've even provided you with the corroborating data and links. You closing your eyes, sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting la-la-la-la-la at the top of your lungs won't make it go away. The fact is is that this in NOT just a Catholic problem and your denial of that is contributing to the problem within your Church.
