Prove your #1. Your #2 means nothing because other religions and other Christian denominations don't have a central organization with a centrally recognized head.

If there are no statistics showing comparisons of Catholic "crimes and cover-ups" to other religions and the general population, that's proof this entire issue is bogus and carried out by atheist haters of God.

Here’s a recent example from the same media outlet:

Former Conn youth minister sentenced to 6 years
http://www.courant.com/community/bridgeport/hc-ap-ct-minister-childpormay14,0,1383649.story
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.
A 32-year-old former youth minister in Monroe has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl he was counseling. Esarey had been youth minister at Stepney Baptist Church until his arrest in November, 2008.

I never stated that Catholics or any other faith or group abused more than others. It’s the systemic cover-up that plagues the church.

Paging Alex Murphy.

It's fairly alarming that anyone who thinks pederast priests should be jailed is now assumed to be an "atheist hater of God."

Your posts have ratcheted up the dialogue considerably.

If church sanctioned CHILD ABUSE is the end result of having a centrally recognized head I don't want any part of it.

PS, I'm sure Mary is weeping.
