This is another reason why single parenthood is so bad, and we should get back to condemning sex before marriage and make it more difficult to get divorced.

Step fathers are always potential threats to young girls.

Also, the corporate fake news media loves to accuse Catholic priests of pedophilia, but sexual assaults are much more commonplace in government public schools and in Hollywood culture.

100%

Your child has a higher chance of being molested by the teacher or sports coach than the Catholic priest.

Yeah, the danger with the Catholic priests was that they have the Catholic church protecting them - in Ireland they shuffled around offending priests to protect them which just meant they had even more victims, but as far as likelihoods go it's less likely for a priest to be one than the average.

I was about to say that the Catholic priest thing has the "Shock value" (you expect more from moral leaders) and also feeds the anti-religious bigotry.

But you're right. The Church has used its influence to protect the wrong people.
