"It is now an established and obvious fact that the recently published
Australian Pedophile and Sex Offender Index listed 'Clergy, Church and
Religion related' as the largest identifiable group of offenders -- by
almost twice the size of the next group." Court records since the
publication of this references how the conviction of priests for child
sex abuse is running at 4:1 to other occupations. This means that the church
and religious orders in Australia could be producing up to approximately
one-third of the nation's pedophiles. Warming to his argument, Swan points
out "that if the same number of church-based pedophiles had come from
the sex industry, a Parliamentary inquiry would have commenced years ago.
The sex industry and the church both employ approximately 20,000 people
in Australia. As it appears, the sex industry seems remarkable free of
convicted pedophiles ... no prostitutes, X-Video producers or sex shop
owners appeared on the Pedophile Index and none have been recorded in court
records since."
