Do you have any evidence Catholic Priests are more likely to be pedophiles than the general population? You seem to love sensationalist, anti-Catholic (and dare I say Christianophobic in general) propaganda.

Catholic pedophiles are 4%, which is massively higher than the general population. And even those who aren’t directly victimizing children are participating in a system that covers up the crimes and protects the predators.

Also “christianophobia”? This isn’t pre Constantine, and you aren’t a victim.

approximately 4% have faced these allegations

Key word: “allegations”

4% isn’t even bad for people in a position of power. That’s probably normal considering around ~5% of the population has pedophilic urges. And there is no “cover up,” the Church takes abuse very seriously.

If you are disparaging my religion I am in fact a victim of hate.

Extremely suspicious copium.

Your turn to source

And there is no “cover up,” the Church takes abuse very seriously.

Literally done by a cardinal/pope. And that’s just one example out of many. You can look up more as I’m not providing hundreds of sources.

My friend, you can’t be a victim of having your bad ideas challenged and mocked. No one is born a catholic, it’s not an inalienable part of you. There is no bigotry to be found in disparaging beliefs. But when Catholics disparage minorities, THAT is hate.
