So, what's 2% of 414000?

I used to wade into the ex-pontiff and his unpleasant and and proven Nazi past, hinting at how cheap life was to him and his questionable covering up of known paedophiles when he was the Cardinal in charge of "policing". I kept getting banned since it upset some on here for some reason. I suppose by the same logic even the current pope would be shown the door

A lot.

It makes one think.

I'm sure I've mentioned how one of my friends at school was buggered by a priest, with the result being that the priest was sent to another school to calm things down. Upon reflecting further, another mutual friend entered the priesthood (for want of a better expression ), as indeed did the headmaster when he retired.

Funny old world.

Hmm,,, does this mean that 1 in 50 priests are preying, instead of praying ??

"go down on your knees and think of Jesus" takes on a whole new meaning

with celibacy being part of the 'priesthood', it makes it an ideal excuse for those who's sexual tastes are 'different'.

It'd be interesting to see how many of these cases have been reported wordwide

0.04% of the distance to the Sun - give or take - 37,200 miles... quite a few miles.

About the same percentage of true stories in the 'SUN'.
