If you're so quick to uncritically believe that 38% of ordained priests are pedophiles, then you should at least consider the possibility that you have been successfully brainwashed by your choice of media/ideology. That kind of number is verging on conspiracy theory, up there with illuminati and chemtrails.
I'm not quite sure how you hoped the links you placed would help with your rebuttal, since they basically agree with what I said, but, in any case, thank you for the links; since you trust those sources, feel free to treat these as the sources you requested.
For comparable prevalence figures in the general population and in high risk professions (like teachers), just google that phrase, top links seem good enough references.
On the contrary, the 1st statement was a theological argument, which led to a later hypothesis.
Please provide sources:
38% of clergy accused total, 0.1% actually convicted
“Cartor, Cimbolic & Tallon (2008) found that 6 percent of the cleric offenders in the John Jay Report are pedophiles; 32 percent ephebophiles, 15 percent 11 & 12 year olds only (both male and female)...” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay_Report
