that you feel the need to defend on this point so hard makes me think you're a closeted pedo priest, ngl

That's just a few hits from a google news search for "pastor" and "abuse".

Child abuse is so rampant in churches that it doesn't take much effort to find. I suspect that that's why they attack Drag Queen Story Hour. To distract those who care about protecting children away from them.

and which of those denominations is famous literally around the world for having systemic concealment of known abuse and shielding of abusers from justice

Your claim was "The abuse of children by (non-catholic) clergy is so rare as to be non-existent as a statistic".

The reality is that throughout Christianity child abuse is very much existent.

I haven't got a handle on the relative fame for the systematic abuse. But, as you can see, the systematic abuse is there.

I am bad at statistics

Many such cases. Don't feel bad.

and the reality is that it is a rarity and exposed and persecuted out of the christian church, but in the catholic heretical cult it is sheltered from exposure and prosecution in a systematic way

Is there some evidential basis to this claim? Or did you just make it up now?

I see a lot of evidence showing the opposite:

How Protestant Churches Hid Sexual Abuse

1 in 10 Young Protestants Have Left a Church Over Abuse

Is there more sexual abuse in the Protestant Churches than the Catholic Church?

Protestants can no longer dismiss abuse as a ‘Catholic problem’

Look at the others too. They're the ones focusing on how it's not a Catholic problem.

even the paper says everybody knows the catholics have this problem!

Only 326 arrests because of alleged child sexual abuse that occurred at or through activities provided by Protestant Christian congregations.

How many can you find at drag shows over that study period (1999 to 2014)?
