Can't resist scratching that itch, can you Bruce? <http://www.irishexaminerusa.com/mt/2010/09/21/secularists_keep_scratching_th.html> "Secularists Keep Scratching Their Anti-Catholic Itch" "The mainstream media made hay out of the sex scandals involving pedophile priests, yet the truth about the cases was never reported fairly. Study after study shows that pedophilia - sexual abuse of a prepubescent child - is extremely rare among priests, affecting only less than one-third of 1 percent of the entire population. This figure is cited in the book "Pedophiles and Priests" and was written by a non-Catholic scholar, Philip Jenkins, and was based on the most comprehensive study ever. Only one out of 2,252 priests over a 30-year period was afflicted with pedophilia. In the recent Boston scandal, only four of the more than 80 priests labeled by the media as "pedophiles" were actually guilty of molesting young children. The majority of the clerical sex-abuse scandals that came to light do not involve pedophilia but, rather, ephebophilia, which is homosexual attraction to adolescent boys. But even this figure amounted to less than 2 percent - comparable to the rate among married men. There is in fact no evidence that Catholic priests are more likely to be pedophiles than Protestant ministers, Jewish rabbis, physicians or the personnel of any other institution in which adults are in a position of authority and power over children. So why do the mainstream media and the liberal elites seize on demonizing the Catholic Church whenever the opportunity arises? That's no big secret. The Church is adamantly against abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, and stands squarely against the social-engineering agenda of the secularists."
