[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rate of offending among priests is shaking out at roughly 2.5%.  The last ten years were the best reporting environment that's ever existed to root out a group of offenders.

The rate in public school is higher.  [/quote]Really, cite please.  I don't recall one in 30 teachers turning out to be pedophiles.  [/quote]

6.7% of students reported unwanted contact, 9.6% other forms of sexual misconduct, inclusive:

The author of the report has repeatedly stated that public school abuse is much more prevalent than abuse by priests.

The report also includes a 1994 study that found that of 225 teachers identified for sexual misconduct in NYPS, NONE were reported to police and only one lost his license.

[/quote]I'm trying to wade through this thing but I'm not finding statements bout prevalence vs catholic church, and your numbers compare percentage of catholic offenders to student victims so they are not comparable statistics.  Can you point me to the relevant section of the study that you think makes the case?[/quote]
