Report: Protestant Church Insurers Handle 260 Sex Abuse Cases a Year
By Rose French
June 18, 2007
insurancejournal.com/news/national/2007/06/18/80877.htm

The three companies that insure the majority of Protestant churches in America say they typically receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by clergy, church staff, volunteers or congregation members.

The figures released to The Associated Press offer a glimpse into what has long been an extremely difficult phenomenon to pin down — the frequency of sex abuse in Protestant congregations.

Religious groups and victims’ supporters have been keenly interested in the figure ever since the Roman Catholic sex abuse crisis hit five years ago. The church has revealed that there have been 13,000 credible accusations against Catholic clerics since 1950.

Protestant numbers have been harder to come by and are sketchier because the denominations are less centralized than the Catholic church; indeed, many congregations are independent, which makes reporting even more difficult.

Does that make you feel better?
 
What we don’t get with celibate priests is divorce, adultery, and child abuse - all of which are common among married Protestant clergy but obviously unknown among celibate Catholic clergy.

Of course, these marital and familial problems are FAR more common than pedophilia.

Finally, in addition to the fact that pedophilia actually occurs at a slightly higher rate among Protestants clergy than Catholic clergy, you may already know that pedophilia occurs at a higher rate among married people than among Catholic priests.

If not, do some research. 👍

When presented with facts, you do go into a shell, don’t you?

If all you know is what you hear on the news, then I suggest you turn off the TV and read.

Katie Couric is not going to educate you in any significant way.

Goodnight.
