AP discusses the raw numbers from three companies that insure the majority of protestant churches in America (Church Mutual, Guide One, and Brotherhood Mutual), and typically receive 260 reports/year of people under 18 being sexually abused.

Compare that with ~228 credible accusations/year against Catholic clerics since 1950 (documented abuse records).

Together with that information, it is known that the Catholic Church greatly outnumbers any specific Protestant denomination, and the data for Protestant churches is available only for the last seven years.

Ever since the first sexual abuse cases had been reported, Catholics have had requirements: 1) police background check done on all volunteers--including priests, 2) a second person be present at all religious functions, and 3) all personnel involved with minors must take routine checks with "Protecting God's Children".

Because it's not reported on doesn't mean it's not happening. And please note Pastor's can marry.

It just makes me sick how they sugar coat and cover up for the “safe school czar” Pedophile in Chief Kevin Jennings and yet will call for the Catholic Church to be tore apart for the same thing.

“Pedophilia Only a Catholic Sin? “

No. Keeping priests with problems as priests, while covering up the sin is the problem.

Destruction of young lives wherever (in any church or organization) it occurs is the problem.

Covering it up and allowing those who fall to stay by rotating them to new ministries is the moral failure of the church and a PR nightmare.

It is a blot on the Catholic Church - just as it would be on any other kind of church.

It’s because too many protestant churches and none of the public schools are pro abortion.

The 800 lb michelle in the corner is they are exclusively homo crimes against children.

The ENEMEDIA will scream Catholic and Christian at the top of their lungs. However they will never admit it is purely a deviant homo SSD mental illness causing a supreme majority almost 100% of these crimes of hatred towards the innocent.

Matt and Trey, are ya listening?

AP discusses the raw numbers from three companies that insure the majority of protestant churches in America (Church Mutual, Guide One, and Brotherhood Mutual), and typically receive 260 reports/yr of people under 18 being sexually abused. Compare that with ~228 credible accusations/yr against Catholic clerics since 1950 (documented abuse records).

That's because that Catholic church shuffles molesting priests around as opposed to Proddie offenders having to own up to their sin.

What do you call a Roman Catholic cleric who molests children? Father
What do you call a Protestant clergyman who molests children? An inmate.

**Pedophilia Only a Catholic Sin?**
NO

**data for Protestant churches is available only for the last seven years.**

Hmmm

**And please note Pastor’s can marry.**

Which makes them all the more apt to abuse children.

Think about this:

The most probable pedophiles in order are:

Fathers
Teachers
Coaches
Protestant ministers

Priests are way down on the list.

So if a father is a teacher of mid-high history, coaches the girl’s basketball team and is a youth minister at his church on weekends/Sundays — watch out! He would be much more prone to pedophilia that any priest.

Could you supply us with those edited-out links? If they’re real long, you can fix them up at tinyurl.com

I’m always interested in sourcing.

Thanks.

... sexual abuse of a minor is one of the most despicable crimes and sins that man can perpetrate ...

People keep saying things like this, and yet they won't do j*ck sh*t about what goes on in public schools every day. "Just kids being kids, nothing you can do about it."

FReepin hypocrites.
