All Catholic men are pedophiles?
Catholic men are more likely to disturb children? I always see things on TV about Catholic priests molesting young children, and my father was raised Catholic, and he molested me. I go to Catholic school, and I thought it would be cool to date a Catholic who has morals and good things but then I realized Catholic men can be prone to pedophilia. Is that the case?
- Catholic priests are more likely to be pedophiles than other groups of men?
- It Hurts Me as a Catholic that people still talk about priests as pedophiles?
- Would you trust your son or daughter to a Catholic priest pedophiles?
- Does anyone find the Catholic Church be a hypocrite? ?
- Roman Catholic Church has ignored the suffering of It's parishioners?
No, no, they are not. Catholicism is against these immoral acts.
In fact, the number of pedophiles in the ranks of Catholic clergy is quite low compared with other faiths and organizations, such as schools.
Philip Jenkins, Episcopalian and Professor of History and Religious Studies at Penn State University, published the 1996 book Pedophiles and Priests: Anatomy of a Contemporary Crisis. Affirms that the term "pedophile priests" widely used in the media, which implies a much higher percentage of abusers in the Catholic priesthood when in reality the incidence is lower than most segments of society .
I am not Catholic, but their religion is against it, so I guess not everyone is like that. That would be stereotyping.
