Defend pedophile priests all you want but there are many sitting in prison convicted by a jury of their peers.
Is the fact that ministers of other faiths molest children make the situation any better for us Catholics? Does it magically restore parishes, schools closed to pay for lawsuits? Does it help the abused?

Penn State professor Philip Jenkens reported that between 2 to 3 percent of protestant clergy are pedophiles. His same study reported that less than 1.7 percent of Catholic priests are pedophiles. There is simply no reason to think that clergy child molesters are solely a Catholic problem. - *The results of this survey were reported in the book, Ministerial Ethics by Joe Trull and James Carter (2d ed. 2004), and in The Baptist Standard editorial, “Churches must act to prevent clergy sexual abuse,” 4/22/2002. - (source: The voice of SNAP Baptist - http://stopbaptistpredators.org/alarmingnumbers.html

I put your questions back on you - ask them from yourself. You started the mess on this thread - not Salvation nor myself. You’ve been given enough information with links on how the Catholic Church has implemented an excellent program that’s so successful it’s being used by other main-line Protestant Churches and other Institutions to combat filth. You’ve also been given REAL stats on pedophilia from other denominations AND you’ve been given just a few of the abuses committed only last week by Pastors. Yet you ignore all of it. You have a huge anti-Catholic problem! I’ll pray for you.
Now please go weed your own garden!
