LOL what does that mean 6%? What about all the rest of clergy that enables them to rape kids? Like one of the recent cases posted by Jörmungandr where it was discovered that in two Catholic schools priests and monks were openly abusing kids for 40 years while the staff didn't do anything
Quote:It states many of the perpetrators did not hide their sexual interests from the children and pupils were often abused in front of each other.
"The blatant openness of the activities demonstrates there was a culture of acceptance of abusive behaviour," it said.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
