Indeed. But it strikes me that the places with the most rigorous enforcement of theological dominance also have the worst child abuse problems. Or, as an AI would decide, men in robes can't be trusted.
Well if you tell people they are sinners for being humans (having body parts), you get frustrated humans.
I have been in very rigid religous countries. The men in the internet shops were all whatching hardcore porn, and my female friends were harassed in the street.
So it's not men in robes, you can be deeply religious and have a and loving view of the world.
But puritanism, and sexually frustrated people ashamed of even existing, are bound to generate unhappiness.

Citation needed. The data doesn't back up that claim, contrary to the media's narrative.
A report which Christian Ministry Resources (CMR) released in 2002 stated that contrary to popular opinion, there are more allegations of child sexual abuse in Protestant congregations than there are in Catholic ones, and that sexual violence is most often committed by volunteers rather than by priests.
Catholic clergy aren't more likely to abuse children than other clergy or men in general. The 4 percent figure appears lower than school teachers during the same time frame, and certainly less than offenders in the general population of men.
