Douche of the Day: Another Republican candidate criticized for rape comments

There's been plenty of instances of pedophiles in all Christian denominations, not to mention in other faiths such as Judaism and Islam. It's so more well known and wide spread in Catholicism simply because it's the most common religion and denomination in the world. It's simple math that there's going to be more instances of it and it's going to gain more attention if it's the most practiced religion. But no religion is free from pedophiles. Atheism either. I believe religion and pedophilia CAN be connected, but they aren't inherently.

I believe pedophiles look for positions in many different organizations where they can gain influence and trust of children (churches, scout groups, schools, sports teams). Churches are just one of their options.

Agree with you Violet and you RP. The true test is how the organization responds. All too often, it responds by protecting the organization. Whether it's Penn State, or the church, or boy scouts, the organization fails it's purpose when it values itself over the victim.
