That one per cent

Remember the Vatican cardinal stating that it was/is just one per cent of priests who have abuse(d). That figure does not at all seem to tally with the figures coming from Dublin at present. Indeed, the figure tallies with nothing in reality - nonsense speak.
Is it not worth noting that it takes the child abuse issue to cause a 'split' among the hierarchy. How unsure they are of what they say on this issue and how sure they appear to be when they are talking on intricate theological issues - including telling people how to live their normal sexual lives.
