The Pope Covered Up Pedophile Priests

[manasecret]

Since I don't think anyone will argue the Catholic Church's case here, I'll bring up an argument I have read before. It comes from a letter written to Tulane's student-run newspaper, The Hullabaloo, in response to an article or editorial about one of the latest Catholic sexual abuse scandals of the time. (This was a few years ago.)

The crux of the argument was that the Catholic scandals are overblown, because the rate of Catholic priest molestations is similar to the rate of molestations by other regular men, such as grandfathers. What do you think?
