Any and every time you start going on about how there really aren't that many compared to other... blah, blah, blah. You rationalize, minimize and marginalize the crime instead of just coming right out and saying "Yes. You're right. Priests that rape kids are sick bastards." If you actually backed up your claims of moral superiority you wouldn't get half the shit tossed your direction that you do.
Roughly three months ago in the Ask A Catholic thread, I wrote that priests who commit crimes like this should be prosecuted and sent to jail. I have repeated this as often as the subject has come up.
So, again, cite the post in which I DEFENDED pedophile priests.
What I'm NOT going to listen to is a bunch of ignorant fools blathering on about the Catholic Church and besmirching the good reputation of the 99% of our priests who have not been involved in these crimes.
Pedophilia is more prevalent in just about every institution - schools, scouting, sports teams, and yes, Protestant churches, etc. - than it is among Catholic priests.
But that's an inconvenient truth for your atheists, isn't it?
