why dont you ever examine the apostasy of the LUTHERAN and PROTESTANT churches???
Catholics, for all their sin- forbid gay lifestyle and abortion- which are 100% embraced by the protestants. Many even refer to LGBT as a "God given GIFT" ministry.
This and many other examples...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84077945

The rate of clergy sex abuse is an estimated 4% across ALL denominations, well below the 11% among the general population. However, little attention is paid to non-Catholic offenders. Why haven’t we heard about the huge Southern Baptist Convention sex abuse scandal? The Catholic Church has endured humiliating media coverage, paid exorbitant reparations and put in place mandatory training and reporting requirements for anyone in the presence of a youth under the age of eighteen; what remedial actions have Protestant denominations taken to support their victims and prevent further incidents?

Lieff Cabraser is investigating reports of widespread child abuse in evangelical churches, Southern Baptist churches, and so-called Mega Churches. Nearly 400 Southern Baptist leaders, from youth pastors to top ministers, have pleaded guilty or been convicted of sex crimes against more than 700 victims since 1998, according to a recent investigation by The Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News. Superstar pastors like Bill Hybels and Andy Savage have been forced to resign over allegations of misconduct. The New York Times also published a recent expose on the “sexual abuse crisis” at Evangelical churches.

It seems that every month a Catholic diocese somewhere in the country releases a list of credibly accused predator priests that rivals the list originally put forth by the Boston Globe’s Spotlight team. The Catholic church seems to have a near monopoly on child sexual abuse in religious settings. But looks can be deceiving, and it appears that child sexual abuse in Protestant churches is actually more common.
It is extremely hard to know the exact rates of child sexual abuse in any institution, especially since it takes survivors, on average 21 years before they start talking about their abuse*. But churches, like all other corporate entities that work with the public, have insurance, and there are only a few insurance providers who insure churches. These three companies, in 2007, said they receive about 260 reports of sexual abuse per year from Protestant churches, and about 228 from Catholic churches.

Academic investigations confirm just how normal the “crisis” appears to be. A 2004 John Jay College study of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy found allegations against 4,392 priests recorded between 1950 and 2002. That number makes up 4% of the entire U.S. priesthood. Likewise, a 2018 study of child sexual abuse in Protestant congregations analyzed 326 cases that led to the arrests of purported offenders between 1999 and 2014—a small fraction of the total sample of 2,240 allegations of abuse in Protestant congregations made between 1982 and 2014.
