Posted at Wall Street Journal Blog now:
People studying archdiocese documents as they are released now estimate that 10 percent of Catholic priests were pedophiles in the U.S. in recent history, finding 10,969 perpetrator priests in the USA so far- And Still Counting.
Serial pedophilia in these numbers is not a religious issue. This was a crime spree. I reported on the new numbers here: http://cityofangels8.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-stats-10-percent-of-catholic.html - news you will ot read in mainstream media, written by a victim of the crimes, me, who also happens to be a retired journalst.
There was a pedophile epidemic in the Catholic Church and it festered in the secretive cloistered structures of the Church. We don't need a papal apology we need law enforcement to sieze files and prosecute these criminals.
