re: 23 year old Muslim Pedophile Caught in California Sting!

over 5000 Protestant leaders have been accused of pedophilia.

Really? I've not seen that high a number before. Do you have a link to that?

---

and you'll never see the number. Every Roman Catholic church is under the same leadership organization in Rome.
There are many, many small groups of independent Protestant churches.

There is no single comprehensive database that tracks the exact number of pedophiles among Protestant church leaders. Because Protestantism is highly decentralized with thousands of independent denominations, the total number of offenders is unknown. However, several major investigations and studies provide insight into the scope of the issue

Yet, I did fine this:

National Research: In 1990, the Freedom From Religion Foundation surveyed reported criminal cases in North America and found that out of 250 cases, 58% involved Protestant ministers while 39.5% involved Catholic priests.

guess that makes it OK then, right?

As long as a radical muslim did it, the left is perfectly OK with it.

which is why I asked where you got the "5,000" number from.

---

I only used the 5,000 number because I was responding to a post referring to 5,000 catholic priests.

I did find this:

Just last year, the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News published a devastating report of sexual abuse within the Southern Baptist Convention—the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. In the last two decades, more than 700 victims have come forward with accusations against Southern Baptist ministers, church leaders, and volunteers.

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.

4,392 cases in 50 years from the Catholic church
2,240 cases in 30 years from the Protestant churches.
I'd assume there was much more abuse in the 1950's through the 1970's.
It would be interesting to compare Catholic vs Protestant numbers from 1982 to 2014.

Well, over 5000 Catholic priests and clergy have been accused of pedophilia in the US alone.

Over 1500 public school teachers are accused of sexual misconduct with students YEARLY.

This isn't the own you think it is.
