"There's no more sexual predators in the Catholic Church than there are high school teachers that sleep with their students."

Really? I hadn't thought about it before, but that doesn't seem obvious to me. Can you share your reasons for thinking so?

Why do you think that there's more predators in the Catholic Church than in the general population? Frankly, sexual predators make up a small portion of the population and therefore would likely make up a minuscule portion of both populations. The scandal in the Catholic Church was a big deal not because a large minority of priests are predators but because the U.S. bishops swept the abuse under the rug. When a coach or teacher (especially a man) molests a student, it doesn't generally become national news because the school suspends the teacher during the investigation and reports the incident to the police.
