"Tolerating serial child rapists as priests hasn't helped your cause much."

Did you know that sexual abuse by Protestant Clergy is five times higher than by Catholic clergy?

The three companies that insure a majority of Protestant churches say they typically receive upward of 260 reports a year of children younger than 18 being sexually abused by members of the clergy, church staff members, volunteers or congregants. Additionally, reports of sexual misconduct by Protestant clergy not involving children far outstrips that by Catholics.

The figures released to The Associated Press offer a glimpse into what has long been a difficult phenomenon to detail, the frequency of sexual abuse in Protestant congregations. Whereas the catholic Church has publicly admitted and addressed the problem the Protestant abusers remain secretive.

I assume you are not talking about sexual abuse in Dublin, Ireland. Correct?
