The daddy.
If all the gay and paedophile clergymen
were outed and defrocked do you think there would be many left to preach morality to the faithful?

I think the number of gay/pedophile clergy is about the same number as gay/pedophile in the general population. Which is kind of a sad statement - it should be approaching zero.

Obviously. Another obvious factoid:Gay ≠ Pedophile
Priests who Molest Boys = Gay Pedophiles.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Actually, I bet it's higher amongst priests, because of the free access to young trusting boys.

Certainly... the percentage of pedophile clergy (priests, ministers, rabbis etc) is lower than in the general population.
I think a better question is, if all the pedophile teachers, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists were outed and had their respective licenses revoked, would there be any left?
The answer would still be yes, but I think people would be shocked at how many of those there are! I wonder how many people would send their kids to public schools then!
I think if you were to look in the papers you'd notice there are many more incidents of teachers, social workers etc being nabbed for fooling around with young kids than clergy.
