I Take Archbishop Dolan's Point
Perverts come in every religion and the small segment of Catholic deviant clergy is no greater than any other religion or the population at large- they are just a better target because of the views on mandatory celibacy and the fact that they don't respect that women should be given equal time at the homiletics, I would argue. The mighty have longer to fall so crash louder.
Take for example this insane character from the evangelical protestant mold recently sentenced to do the rest of his time somewhere extremely unpleasant:

You will NEVER see any Catholic Priest spouting whacked delusional theological justifications for their perversion like this guy- when they do wrong they know it generally. And don't get me started on the child brides of Jeffs and those characters in Utah.
So cut the catholic clergy a wee bit of a break.
They still are not off the hook however with those priests who father children and dump their lovers for the altar- Jesus hung out with Mary Magdalene even after they crucified him and shut him in a tomb. Don't you think he knew who exactly was waiting for him all night?
