I believe the problem with the Priest’s sexual misconduct was that they were f*cking young boys. Not even close to a 15 to 17 year old boy getting it on with a 27 year old female tacher. Still wrong but not nearly equivacal. Being a teacher also is not nearly the same level of expected trust as with a Priest. And there may not have been very many Priests actually f*cking young boys but all of the rest of the Priest new about it and covered it up for a long time.
The hysteria about the tiny percentage of priests involved in those activities reminds me of the way ignorant people freak out and yell for gun control laws every time 1 out a a trillion gun owners does something violent.
I think you meant to use "equivalent." Equivocal means ambivalent or problematic.
