No, I said there is a scandal going on *right now* that envolves Catholic Priests. To cause a scandel, though, the behavior has to be newsworthy. For some reason, a pedophile priest or teacher is considered more newsworthy than a pedophile in some other line of work. By that line of reasoning, yes, Catholic priests are more likely to be part of a scandal even if the incidents of pedophiles in the priesthood is lower than the incidents of pedophiles in the general population.
