Yuck... Give a religious man a boy of that age and what you’ll most likely get is another boy molested by a priest/preacher/whatever...

You reckon? Most likely? Come on, show me a reference that says that 51% of religious men molest boys.

Your comment is without base, and apparently without thought.

It might. It might also tell us that that Jesuits value education (and early education, at that) very highly.
