YOu’re missing the point by believing what they state-run media are telling you. Why only on this specific story do you believe them?
Read reponse postings here or the Pravda report link above - otherwise one might say it’s hypocritical to not believe the LSM for their conservative tales yet believe them only when they’re gunning for the Catholic Church -

There are several differences and one glaring omission from the OP:
-how many cases of molestation ended in criminal prosecutions comparatively speaking between the RCC and the other Denominations that were studied?
-the OP’s reference work is 14 yrs old, and could only study data that was pre publication in 1996.
-the study does not include Europe or Asia
I’d think a new study is needed as well as the Catholic Church cleaning their own pulpits as it were.
To me, the Catholic Church is one of the cornerstones of the West, I’d prefer to see her strong and confident and righteous moving forwards.
