I loved Ann Coulter's column mentioning that the RATE of priest abuse (total numbers of priest compared to victims) is about the same as abuse among the faculty at Yale. But we don't hear the media screaming for 'changes' at Yale, do we? Faculty members at Yale don't have the trust of Catholic youth, nor are they entrusted with changing bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ.
The helping professions are all subject to being abused by predators, but, once discovered, moving them into a new position as some bishops have done is inexcusable.
Like you, I'm hoping that the Church has a bit higher expectation than does a secular university. A prof has a trust, but a priest is supposed to have a calling from God. Huge difference.
