The RCC only wishes there were sex scandals in Protestant churches of the same magnitude that exist in the RCC.
I urge everyone, Protestant and Catholic, to rent or buy the jarring, engrossing and truthful documentary DVD, "Deliver Us From Evil."
After viewing the DVD you realize the problem is so deep and vast as to be nearly insurmountable for the RCC.
And you understand better what the difference is between sexual transgressions in the RCC and the Protestant churches. In Protestant churches the minister is seen as a fellow believer, a leader who is learned and commissioned by God to teach and guide, but who is not any closer to God than any of his flock.
OTOH the RCC teaches that the priest is actually different from other believers, significantly closer to God because he is seen as the actual and required administrator of God's grace. Protestants rightly acknowledge this responsibility as belonging to the Holy Spirit alone and not to any man on earth.
It's this elevated position of supernatural authority, coupled with an unnatural, unBiblical celibacy, that create the massive, systemic problem in the RCC which the Protestant churches simply do not have, by the grace of God.
It's the difference between law-breaking under a republican form of government with its checks and balances, compared to law-breaking under a monarchy. One is open to scrutiny as much as possible; the other is hidden and subversive by definition and the perks of the position.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." -- Ephesians 5:11-14"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
