Insurance companies report 228 cases of sexual abuse per year by Catholic and 260 per year by Protestant clergy (http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/06/24/sexual-abuse-minors-in-protestant-churches.html)). Given that 51.3% of Americans are Protestant and 23.9% Catholic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_the_United_States)) that would indicate you have a 1.9 times greater chance of being sexually abused as a Catholic.

Thanks for the statistical analysis. I think the numbers are astounding. It's why I posted the 101 cases. If you had 101 of a disease, they'd cordoned off the city and get the CDC in there ... pronto! But a 101 kids abused? No big deal. The DA hides evidence ... the church goes on ... the priests continue to be priests ... and the kids are left to carry the burden on their own.

I was kicked off v/ChristFollowers for posting the above. Apparently statistics are un-Christian. My opinion is that turning a deaf ear to the cries of children being molested by sick perverts is un-Christian, but that is just me.

Oh, I get it now.

I agree. A Christian would never turn their back on child abuse.
