though Roman Catholics comprise only 25% of the United States population
The minor victims of priest abuse are overwhelmingly boys and teenagers, (80-90%)
93% of convicted and imprisoned child molesters had themselves been sexually abused as children and 60% stated that they had been abused by a Catholic priest
i can go on, shall I?

You also ever notice that a majority of these cases are over 20 to 30 years old when they are finally reported? Very few have ever been reported right after they happened. Ever occur to you that some of these people could be lying to just get some money? I would not put that past anyone in this day and age. You also mentioned 800 priests that have been removed. 800 out of how many priests worldwide? Like I said a very small number of priests are molestors or accused molestors. That part I can tell you could care less about. You have such a hard on for the Catholic church it doesn't matter to you if there are good priests. You just want to label them all molestors. Kind of funny since you work in a field where people want to label us as pervs.
