Closer to 70% but the point is exactly the same, it is natural for Protestants to have higher numbers, although I don’t know that they do have such high homosexual molestation numbers, but I would really be surprised if he wasn’t lying about it being “common” in the Jewish community.
It just sounds like another nasty European attack against America.
“Closer to 70% but the point is exactly the same,...”
Actually, no. I was being generous when I said that Protestants comprised two-thirds of American Christians.
Protestants make up 51.3% of the 78.4% of the population that is Christian. 51.3% is 65.4% of the entire Christian population, which is a little less than two-thirds, not “closer to 70%.”
Of course, what makes this further problematic is that many folks who are Christian but not Catholic, Orthodox, Mormon or Jehovah's Witness don't consider themselves Protestant. "Protestantism," I've learned over the years here at FR, is a tough thing to define. I've met LUTHERANS, for pete's sake, who claim not to be Protestants. And more than my fair share of Anglicans/Episcopalians. And Baptists. And various evangelicals.
But for arguments' sake, I'll go with the numbers presented above.
Thus, the point isn't quite the same.
As well, I've seen research results that show that Protestant clergy sexually offend generally at a higher rate than that of Catholic priests.
“It just sounds like another nasty European attack against America.”
It's more of a Catholic defense against all comers.
We Catholics often see ourselves first as followers of Christ, in His Body the Church, and second as Americans or Europeans or whatever.
