I'm not a fan of religion or the church but I'm pretty sure the "pedophile priest scandals" are a leftist anti-religion, anti-tradition hoax. From what data I've looked at, priests are not any more likely than the average person to be sex pests.
I thought they were significantly less likely, but the reason it was such a scandal was because it was covered up by the church and above all is an institution of faith and devotion. People expect priests to be the least sinful and give them the most trust, so it's extra hurtful when they fail.

I think they're similar, maybe slightly less likely, but yeah, it's a god point that it was actually covered up.
