[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— The best Catholics can come up with is “others do it too” and you think those “statistics” make the abuses in the Catholic Church somehow less egregious? -—

According to the John Jay report, the abuse rate for priests is 1-2%, ministers 2-3%, government school teachers, 5-10%.

The Catholic Church has instituted a comprehensive screening program worldwide. What has your church done, and other Protestant churches? What about government schools?

To me, instituting comprehensive screening is more significant than commenting that “child sexual abuse is bad” on web sites.

Most people don’t consider that position or effort remarkable.

>>What has your church done,<<

They certainly wouldn't still be in leadership position and not even able to assemble with us without repentance. And never in a leadership position after.

>>and other Protestant churches?<<

You would have to ask them. Of course I'm assuming any non Catholic is considered protestant by you. Totally erroneous.

>>To me, instituting comprehensive screening is more significant than commenting that “child sexual abuse is bad” on web sites.<<

The Catholic Church doesn't even "screen" per the qualifications Paul set down. Until they do any talk of "screening" is mute.

According to the John Jay report, the abuse rate for priests is 1-2%, ministers 2-3%, government school teachers, 5-10%.

Over 50% of ALL abuse crimes are from parents or other family members. Yet the only ones that receive attention are Priests and teachers.
