This is a embarresment to the Catholic Church and I have to say that while priest should not be doing this how do these figures compare to other denominations? I am curious on that? Also how do them figures compare to the general public with sexual abuse. Have you ever noticed it is the Catholic Church that gets the most recognition in any thing like this or media wise also. Every time you watch a movie that has Good VS evil that they need some religious content it is always a Catholic Priest that shows up to fight evil in the movies. Or Weddings are a other prime example Priest doing a lot of TV and movie weddings. I am Catholic and not sticking up for the Bishops or these pediphile priest what they are doing is wrong and they will be judged I am sure if not in this world the next. Since that Catholic Church forgives us of our sins maybe these clergy feel they can get a get out of jail card so to speak but I do not think that this really is forgiveable. I also think that the Church had better get over the problems they have with divorce and allow priest to marry or allow married clergy to become priest as it would solve a lot of problems. Jim
