Somehow its an excuse - or presents a normative equivalent - that Catholic priests, local mediators between the laity and God - are no worse than the non-Catholic, non-priestly public in terms of their rates of pedaphilia? That their position of power and responsibility in the community isn't different than that of other individuals, other pedaphiles?
Is there an equivalent non-religious social hierarchy, over the last 50 years (or far longer), that has done as much to suppress discovery and dissent and to displace responsibility as the Catholic hierarchy, where Ratzinger has long been a loyal, very conservative major player?
I don't get it.
