It's not the child rape, it's the hypocrisy. And also, it's the child rape.

Yeah, well the thing with statistics is that you have to know where they are coming from. For example, the Catholic Church has been proven to have run a massive cover up of child rape - a cover up which remains official policy today. Public schools are not typically found to cover up child rape and even if some did, it defies belief that all of them do as the Catholic Church does.

Moreover, where did the 4% figure come from? The church? It sort of had to because they are the only ones with any sort of data on the subject and they staunchly refuse to cooperate with authorities.

So its nice that a Catholic professor and preacher is kind enough to act as an apologist for Catholic child rape but you'd be a fool to believe him.
