According to CNN data taken from 2 years ago (the height of the scandel), when weighted against the number of churches, there have been approximately equal numbers of Catholic and Protestant reports of sexual abuse by church officials.
Both of these figures were far higher than any other faith, so maybe we should chew on that portion of the presentation.
