I don’t think you understand how logic works. Assuming your correlation is true, you still haven’t proven whatever you believe is the cause. What do you believe the cause is and then provide us with your evidence. That’s called “burden of proof.” Not that I think for one second that you’re here with any intention of serious discussion. I don’t. But I’m bored.
Somebody demanding proof that a direct correlation is the cause in this case is the one who isn't interested in a serious discussion. But I'm very sorry you are uncomfortable that new molestations have fallen directly in line with the decline of gay priests. If people were truly concerned about children, they'd be happy the RCC solved this problem.
