Catholic Church Sex Scandals

The Pope visiting has brought about the abuse scandals talk again. I am extremely fed up with this talk about the Catholic Church being corrupt and stories about everyone leaving the church because of it. Firstly, I feel that the church is being attacked because it is so large and everyone knows small things about it. Catholicism is large and this causes the church to be in the public eye a lot. Many people think that because Preists can't get married they have pent up sexual needs and are abusing children. But, what about other religions?

~What about the Christian Camp Counselor who molested eight kids? He is married with kids of his own.

~Why is it no one knows about the Rabbis abusing people?

There are many out there. This site is a collection of articles about molestation by Protestant ministers, and this one follows the Catholic Church scandals.

I feel that the Catholic Church had been attacked by the media, and people who are against Catholicism and people who are not religious at all. Non-marriage and isolation does NOT mean pedophile. Anyone around you could be a child molester and you wouldn't know it. Why is the church being attacked? Why is society so quick to judge?
