Michael Voris is a beast! I love this guy!
Many people immediately attack the Church on this topic.
“It’s a terrible problem for the Catholic Church. Why would you want to be Catholic when all of your priests are pedophiles?!”
I was recently reading an article on Common Faults in Human Thought: this is called ‘Availability Heuristic.’
–It’s when individuals tend to remember unusual events more than everyday, commonplace events.
–For example, airplane crashes receive lots of national media coverage. Fatal car crashes do not. However, more people are afraid of flying than driving a car, even though statistically airplane travel is safer. Media coverage feeds into this bias; because rare or unusual events such as medical errors, animal attacks and natural disasters are highly publicized, people perceive these events as having a higher probability of happening.
Check out this article as well. It might be a few years old, but I suspect hardly any of the statistics have changed.
