Well, I have never molested a child...so much higher.I wonder how it compares to people in what you do for a living?
"The best available data reports that 4 percent of Catholic priests sexually violated a minor child during the last half of the 20th century with the peak level of abuse being in the 1970s and dropping off dramatically by the early 1980s."He saw "Catholic" and was triggered. That's pretty clear.
How about politicians? I'd say a good chunk of them support murdering children, so there's that. I'd say the Catholic clergy has a much better track record."The best available data reports that 4 percent of Catholic priests sexually violated a minor child during the last half of the 20th century with the peak level of abuse being in the 1970s and dropping off dramatically by the early 1980s."
"Putting clergy abuse in context, research from the US Department of Educationfound that about 5-7 percent of public school teachers engaged in similar sexually abusive behavior with their students during a similar time frame."
4 / 7 equals .57
I rounded down to "about half".
Given the source, Psychology Today, I was surprised at the article's candor in pointing out the percentage of sexual preditors within other populations, in addition to the easy cliché.Tell me you didn't read the article, without telling me you didn't read the article.

See post 13.How about politicians? I'd say a good chunk of them support murdering children, so there's that. I'd say the Catholic clergy has a much better track record.
Does this include clergy that have successfully hidden their acts and the abused that didn’t come forward? If not exactly how will thos unaccounted for change these results?The percentage of sexual abusers among Catholic priests, other religion clergy, and school teachers is about the same, 4 - 7%.
Separating Facts About Clergy Abuse From Fiction
Quality research and reason need to take precedence over emotion if we truly want to keep children and families safe from sexual abuse in the the Church or anywhere.www.psychologytoday.com
I would expect professions with access to children to have a much higher rate than those without.I wonder how it compares to people in what you do for a living?
If they successfully hid their acts, of course, they would not be part of the statistics. How can you count something that you are not aware of? I see no reason to believe that one group of abusers would be any better at hiding their acts than any others. That would include clergy of all denominations, youth ministers, teachers, coaches, trainers, camp counsellors, parents, stepparents, relatives, etc. Those helping to cover it up could include the administrators and members of the various groups I named. Many abusers carry on for several years and have several victims, even after being discovered early. Some parents have accepted money and reassurance that the problem will be taken care of. They want to protect their child and the family name. If they had gone to the police, maybe some of the abusers would have been stopped sooner.Does this include clergy that have successfully hidden their acts and the abused that didn’t come forward? If not exactly how will thos unaccounted for change these results?
I mean, it goes the other way as well, right? Those non-numbers that don't exist cancel each other out.Does this include clergy that have successfully hidden their acts and the abused that didn’t come forward? If not exactly how will thos unaccounted for change these results?
Of course.I would expect professions with access to children to have a much higher rate than those without.
So riddle me this Batman ?
So if you are a Christian Protestant or Catholic, Jewish, Muslim.
Can you support abortion ?
So you know the specifics of the numbers enough to know they cancel each other out? Or is that a WAG?I mean, it goes the other way as well, right? Those non-numbers that don't exist cancel each other out.
Of course, we have free will. But it's still a sin.So riddle me this Batman ?
So if you are a Christian Protestant or Catholic, Jewish, Muslim.

Where did you see 4/7? The range quoted was between 5% and 7%. That is much lower than even 50%."The best available data reports that 4 percent of Catholic priests sexually violated a minor child during the last half of the 20th century with the peak level of abuse being in the 1970s and dropping off dramatically by the early 1980s."
