@BernardKeane that isn't the argument, it's utterly shameful it happens at all, but the vast, vast majority of priests do not rape children.

@zerogeewhiz The question would then be, how does the percentage of wrongdoing priests compare to, say, accountants?@BernardKeane -
@dikkii@BernardKeane probably not a sensible comparison statistically. Teachers is probably a closer analog -
@zerogeewhiz@BernardKeane You'd have to allow for Catholic schools (and others) where there's an overlap, of course. -
@dikkii@BernardKeane of course. But using that language to justify your own ideological point is a bit much. -
@zerogeewhiz@BernardKeane No. No it's not. That's the point: the claim is that one occupation is infringing more than others. -
@zerogeewhiz@BernardKeane ...you have to have baselines in other occupations to support the claim. -
@dikkii@BernardKeane totally agree. But you also don't use the suffering of people to score a cheap point. - 5 more replies

@BernardKeane@stabil10 Royal Commission testament to 'frequency'. However, once is too many times -
@halpernnaomi1@BernardKeane Royal Commission has shown far too many,& yes,once is too many. I just wondered about proportionate stats. -
@stabil10@BernardKeane in 2011 100 charges against priests in Australia. Tip of iceberg. Many unreported. 40 suicides related to SA in Vic
