Problem is that people with bad sexual intentions are looking for places where prey is readily available for them. For this reason many of those bad apples find in the church a place to get what they want. This way bad people with sexual aberrations agglomerate in seminaries. And then finally they get "power" and will even find themselves approved by the heads of some seminaries. This because some of them found that becoming the head of the seminary is like becoming the wolf taking care of the herd of sheep, taking a sheep or two from time to time. Then between them they will start approving assignations to position with much prey. Mechanisms like that skew the numbers. The Catholic Church is a magnet for abusers, so the church is full of them not because abusive is a characteristic of catholics.
The problem is that the good shepherds never listened to Jesus when He said:
Matthew 10:16 Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
And this way the church became corrupted. The good shepherds only wanted to be as innocent as doves, not as shrewd as snakes. And now the bad apples are shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves. Unfortunately that is also the tactics of the devil. A dove is the perfect disguise. Or a wolf in sheep's cloth. Or a sexual abuser in a cassock.

Riiight

Mister Parolin, you really said ''not typical'' ?
Gay couple charged with molesting their adopted so…

His comments manifest arrogance and ignorance--in fact, plain stupidity.. Most of the abuse cases involved young adolescent boys--not girls.
It is obvious that Parolin is as good at Psychology as he is at diplomatic affairs, having engineered the sell-out of Chinese Catholics to the Chinese Communist Government.
Parolin is out of touch. The sooner he exits the stage, the better the Church will be.

Hear what Cardinal Raymond Burke has to say about Parolin's ridiculous comments:

Parolin.Tagle,and Zuppi all hope to be Pope in a very, very short time. They are in for a huge anti-Francis awakening at the conclave to elect his successor, and are in for a bigger disappointment. None of them will be pope!

Tagle and Zuppi, who were papabile only in the fantasies of the news media, have no chance--especially now.
Ditto Parolin.

Someone who pretends to be an apostle when he is an apostate.

Parolin LIES….he lies brazenly and boldly in his vain attempt to succor sodomites and their vile, unnatural, filthy abominations. He is not blind, nor ignorant in his quest to normalize perversion. He knows full well the truth of this matter, and that he cannot hope to cover that which is uncoverable. Like Judas Iscariot, however, he has sold his soul to the deceiver, not for thirty pieces of Silver, but for a chance at the Papal Throne. Willingly, he has chosen to embrace damnation and the darkness of degeneracy. May God rebuke him, and may Saint Michael and the Angelic Hosts of Heaven cast him down to the lowest abyss, with all those who hate Holy Mother Church and God’s unalterable, immutable TRUTH.
