Those who want to prey on children will find them where children congregate. Whether that is a place of worship, a playground, or the internet.
The reason we don't hear about the non god believing sicko touching boys is because the only time the pedophile's religion gets mentioned is when it happens to be a priest. When a teacher gets busted for diddling one of his kids they don't ever focus on what religion the teacher is.
Pedophiles strike thousands of times every single day sometimes they are religious people sometimes they aren't. People just seem to like to jump on the Catholic religion (or religion in general) as a whole based on the actions of a very few. A VERY sick few who should be punished to the maximum extent of the law.

Mike,
I think your losing the point here. Noone is suggesting that non religious people who do the same thing arent sick or disturbed. Quite the opposite I would think. The issue is that there are clerics of ALL religious stripes, who are hired and put in a position of trust and caring for our children, caught preying...
(vs praying, sic)...on the children. It doesnt matter whether its 1% or 5% of the clerics that do this, the fact is the children are
sent to these parishes with the full belief that what they are doing is making them closer to God
with their parents consent! In the end these children get a mind fark of the highest order. This has been going on for centuries with noone calling them out for their sick and horrible abuse on children!
Finally when we see it for what it is, and bring it to the attention of everyone, you try to turn it on us and make it appear that a pedophile is a pedophile no matter where or what he is?
Are you suggesting that we simply "turn a blind eye" to this matter and never bring it up at all?
Is that what the parishioners are doing in the various churches they attend?
