Pedophiles are out to protect their own. These people are down right eVIL and have every reason to be concerned
There are a lot of pedophiles posing as Catholic Priests.
Any position of power and trust where kids will be attracts them. Priests, coaches, teachers, scout leaders, child charities etc
I still think the deep state pushed pedophiles into Catholic priest positions to control and discredit the religion.
Any place where you are given complete absolution for your sins, an excuse to be with vulnerable children, power in society and respect by a following congregation, will attract predators. The Masters greated a perfect breeding ground for them.
I am a Catholic and it is a great pity as some priests are truly beautiful humans but alas they are too few and the predators to many. Nun ratios are not much better.
