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)?

The top post is "Rampant child sexual abuse is occurring in churches — not at drag shows".

You are engaging in "whatabout Catholicism only?"

As it turns out, you're wrong. It's Christianity in general. But it's hilarious that you're so engaged in your whataboutism that a reference to the original discussion makes you think I'm changing the subject.

The top post is a red herring and/or strawman and you are arguing about it for a month because you were touched by a male youth minister at your mothers cult?
