power

what power does jesus have to save us ?

The reason for referring to

The reason for referring to this study in this thread, was tied to an earlier statement by Benoit......'abuse of power by the clergy'.

This report would seem to support that claim.

I guess from your comments it would be fair to conclude that churches which take the Name of Jesus Christ seem unable to determine which of their ordained clergy are child molesters.

You seem to suggest that 'only' 4% is an acceptable number since it is the 'norm'.

Neither Paul's thorn nor Peters sin, seem to be on par with child sexual abuse.

This is a particularly nasty sin, which uses the abuse of power to gain it's goal.
