"Don't let them anywhere near children, as the risk factor is clearly unacceptable."

My question, again, is WHO is THEM?

What I meant by that Joe, as if you didn't know, is that the Catholic church should not, in my opinion, be allowed to run institutions in which they undertake to 'care for' or 'educate' children. That measure would prevent some further abuse occurring.

I take it that you mean that we should keep children away from priests, because five percent of priests are molesters.

I'm certainly going to keep mine away from priests. It's a start.

My point is that's about the same percentage of priests who molest, as is in the general population - so priests are no more a danger to children than other men are.

Logical fallacy.
Or fatuous tripe - take your pick.
