It is an established fact that less than one percent - or around one percent, I don't recall exactly at this minute - of priests between the 1940's and 2002 molested and underaged child. So the chance these men you speak about would've had their children molested by a priest was in itself pretty low.

That's the propaganda, anyway...

There was a story out yesterday where for the first time, a Catholic leader was convicted and sentenced to 6 years in prison for covering up the sex crimes of numerous priests...

No one knows how many priests are out there molesting and raping children...The one percent you are referring to are the ones who have been caught...

Actually, no. That's what we know by studying the available data. If you have an alternate set of data contradicting those findings, now is the time for you to share it.

This argument from silence is a logical fallacy. In fact, it proves too much, for we don't know either how many ministers, elders, deacons, and members of your congregation, of your family even, are "out there molesting and raping children..."

If you living in fear makes you happy, go right ahead and live like that. But I suggest you keep the fearmongering to yourself.
