Not about gays, and way more than 5%. Better check the real facts before spouting off. Continues to show their ignorance and lack of credibility. Just more lies and more attempt to cover up.

Even though I am an atheist who has seen the bad side of prejudice most of my life, I think it would be wrong to stereotype everyone based on this shocking statistic. I admire the charity work that Catholics devote themselves to, even if I disagree with their religious beliefs. I agree Ben.

Your "estimate" of a 9000% increase is the very reason "blind faith" cannot be part of any reasonable argument.<br><br>Besides, where have you been Dunkan your Donuts?

There are a lot of good priests out there doing a lot of good work that isn't heard of in the news. The priests that commited these crimes are not the norm, nor are they by any means a representation of the Church. <br>A good priest would never think of doing something so terrible, and believe me when I say there are a lot of great priests out there.

Someone teach him what the percentage means or implies when it comes to being a priest and going around and molesting people. Come on.......Mr. Archbishop......try to address the issue rather than defend it or use your limited statistical knowledge. Oh……Tornasi is torn between statistics and child molestors and pedos.
