[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The media is non-Catholic. Rabbis are worse than Priests but you would never read about it. [/quote]

So can you provide some information to back this statement up?

I don't doubt that there are leaders in all religions (who are conveniently all men) who have taken grave advantage of their position of trust.

Regarding Catholicism, I think the shame and criticism is much more severe because of the centralized organization. It's not just the raping and abusing priests, but the people who facilitated it, protected the abusers, and tried to hide it. There are layers and layers and layers of the immorality.[/quote]

One reason there is more attention to priest abuse is that they are supposed to be chaste and celibate and preach purity to followers.  [/quote]

I really don't think that's the concern.

These are priests who are pedophiles. They are people that like control and power, which their position provides them. It's not the lack of sex - it's the desire to abuse in their privileged position.

Nuns are chaste, but you don't see them raping children - because they are not in positions of power. [/quote]
