Yes. And it should be punished. But do you support the expulsion of all Catholic priests from
any country?
Banning all Muslims, even all Muslim clerics, is equivalent.

Hundreds of thousands of Catholic priests have quit the Catholic church in the last 50 years. According to polls, around 50% of all adult Americans, who were raised in a Catholic household, have also abandoned their 'faith'.

Tens of thousands of Catholic parishes throughout the world have no priest. The main reason for this mass-exodus is paedophilia.

Popes don't 'quit' - they are replaced when they die, yet the last Pope quit due to the paedophilia that is rife in the church. He didn't know how to deal with it. Because the church pays no tax, etc, it sees itself as being above the law, and priests see themselves as being 'untouchable'.

The RC church only has itself to blame due to its failure to police itself. That said, it's still relatively few priests that have perpetrated these evil crimes, and as such, the good ones should not be held accountable.

Look at the ESL industry. There are many 'bad' teachers (or 'deechers', to use an infamous word), and those who do NOT fall into that category still have to live with their legacy.

The expulsion of ALL Catholic priests from a country is akin to expelling ALL FT's from China (or wherever).
