Concur. I just wanted to make it clear that they aren't the only ones getting handsy with the kids.
I see it as a widespread problem that is either getting worse or has always been this rampant and we are only now learning about it. No one ever molested me as a kid, but my little sister was raped by a neighbor boy. My baby brother is nine years younger and he tells me there were half a dozen just in the neighborhood by then who were a little too touchy-feely.
Maybe a lot of those molested boys go into the clergy because they enjoyed it.
Human sexuality is something we've only scratched the surface of.
