Jimmy Mac sent me this link from the WaPo on women targeted by clergy. Three percent is a substantial number, figuring 220-some million Christians overall and 40-some percent attending or involved in church. Three million women, give or take. The Baylor University web site is here. Diana Garland, dean of Baylor’s School of Social Work, co-author of the study:
It certainly is prevalent, and clearly the problem is more than simply a few charismatic leaders preying on vulnerable followers.
If one in thirty-three women are victims, consider the clergy-to-women ratio in American Christianity and ponder that we may have more victims than clergy themselves.

No word on the women who target clergy despite how plentiful such women are, eh? That would interfere terribly with the modern woman=victim no matter what feminist narrative.
