Yeah, the song seems to be talking about Catholic priests who've done that. It is kind of eerie the timing and everything, as other's have said. It does make you wonder if Jon has had a more personal involvement with this subject.
GIJoe is right though, not all Catholic priests are bad and it happens everywhere, not just by Catholic priests. I'd hope that just because events like this do happen, people wouldn't automatically hate Catholicism and even Christianity. As said, it happens but it's wrong to hate every priest and the entire religion for it.
Nonetheless, the song is awesome. Iced Earth, in fact, is awesome!
