The greatest number of people who molest children are teachers. So just know that the molestation of children is not some sort of "Catholic priest thing." People from all faiths and all walks of life can do horrible things, and priests are no different.
Well, the difference between priests and the rest is that the rest don't claim to be Men of God. Why does this have to be explained to you?
With moral authority comes moral responsibility. Arguing that "others do it too!" is no excuse for men who claim to have Christian morality as part of their job description. Sickening, just sickening, the way Catholics fall over themselves to avoid the obvious issues of moral responsibility.
Tell us again how your god is the fount of morality. What a shame that this majestic god of yours cannot inspire even his own holy men to behave in a morally upright manner.
