That is the problem with this issue.

On one side the RC defenders say no one knows how to detect, deal with or cure child sex offenders.

But, in the defense some quote exact statistical numbers (as if there is any way to deduce they are anywhere accurate)and rule out so blatenly throries of the real numbers in the ranks, what makes them tick and are so sure they have 'em all coraled up somewhere(with little change in the institution or people that condoned or ignored it, or understanding what may have encouraged it) so it will never (or, is so less likely to, occur again).
It is clearly in the past. Yea, right!

It may be good for PR and to console the faithful (who want to believe), but not so good for good old common sense. That's why so many folks don't buy into it....and it does not go away. It's not the media slant, or anti RC folks...its because of old good old common sense....it simply does not pass the good ols "smell test".
