Rob,
Thank you for passing along this ...Rev. Rob,<br /> Thank you for passing along this information and informing me of the false representations made by Sam Miller. I will check more into this. <br /><br />But, I do agree with the main point of this article that the abuse problem is not only a Catholic issue. This type of sexual misconduct happens in all religions. <br /><br /><br />God Bless!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-44295782688268037042010-05-12T12:05:45.499-07:002010-05-12T12:05:45.499-07:00Teresa
The Numbers...
Mr. Miller's statement,...Teresa<br /><br />The Numbers...<br />Mr. Miller's statement, <i>"10% of the Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia"</i> has no basis in fact! It was refuted by the named source in 2002 and remains refuted today.<br /><br />The story... <br />In his original 2003 speech Mr. Miller cites a July/August 2002 Sojourners article by Rose Marie Berger in which she misinterprets statements from Penn. State Prof. Philip Jenkins regarding sexual abuse by Protestant ministers.<br /> <br />In the original article Berger writes...<br /><i>"Philip Jenkins concludes in his book "Pedophiles and Priests" that while 1.7 percent of Catholic clergy have been found guilty of pedophilia (specifically of boys), 10 percent of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia."</i> (This quote is used in Miller's speech)<br /> <br />To which Philip Jenkins responds (Sept/Oct 2002)...<br /><i>"I regret to say that the statement is baloney. I never said it, and it's not true!... Every time this ten percent statement appears attributed to me, I try to debunk it, but these things have a life of their own. I have no idea what the actual proportion of pedophile protestant clergy is, but I would be amazed if it was more than a fraction of one percent."</i><br /><br />The Details...<br />Sojourner Article... http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.article&issue=soj0207&article=020741d<br /> <br />Sojourners apologized to its readers for passing on erroneous information and revised the article, removing the incorrect and defamatory information. But not before Sam Miller got a hold of it!<br /> <br />Be proud that you are Catholic. But bear not false witness against your neighbors and friends! <br />Check your facts!<br /><br />Peace and blessings... <br />Rev.
