Even assuming all your statistics are true, my question is this:
Have any of those other groups of people done nearly as much as the Catholics to cover up past and enable future child molestation?

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. -- Thomas Jefferson
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

And Christianity is known for having destroyed religious sites, materials, writings and even customs of all other religions it encountered.
But that's okay, because Christianity is the One True Religion and the others are liars, frauds, cheats and baby eaters.
And Jesus told them to do that.
Except where he didn't, but they ignore that part because they don't like it.

New York Mayor Bloomberg writes:
The attack was an act of war and our first responders defended not only our city but also our country and our Constitution, he said, becoming slightly choked up at one point in his speech, which he delivered on Governors Island. We do not honor their lives by denying the very constitutional rights they died protecting. We honor their lives by defending those rights and the freedoms the terrorists attacked.

Beautiful! Thanks for finding that.
