[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do understand that the stats on priest abuse are very similar to abuse in leadership in other faiths? It isn't just a "Catholic" issue.  It is a human issue.[/quote]

Where is this happening in other faiths? I grew up in Catholic school, but I am protestant. There isn't much difference in the two religions except that Catholic priests seem to have much more contact with young boys because of altar boys (the boys in my super conservative MoCo parish used to brag that the cool, young priest used to show them porno mags. I shutter now to think of what else happened to them), first communion and confession. It's such an easy breeding ground for abuse. We didn't have these things in the protestant church, they were more community centered vs. priest/child centered. [/quote]  The stats show that abuse is very similar in other faiths.  It just doesn't get as much press as it does wit the Catholic Church.  [/quote]

please show us the stats that show that.[/quote]
