Yes, I know. Some a*****e pedophile will always slip through and pass the lie detector test. But since then those a*****e pedophilia problems have all but disappeared.

yes, there were pedo (mostly homosexual-pederast priests) who came out of seminaries in the 1960s-1980s. They certainly caused quite a lot of trouble, abuse, losses to the Church - and headlines

But in fact, even during the worst years - the sexual abuse rate of priests was still lower than organizations like public schools, Boy Scouts, youth sports leagues, and similar to other religious organizations (where investigations were done).

The Church certainly has been chastised for their faults. And our secular media certainly made sure the entire country knew all about it.

What about other organizations? Secularists have also destroyed the Boy Scouts - but what about other organizations, particularly public ones? Where do they stand today?

Other organizations: you would think that those others would have complained LOUDLY and CONTINUOUSLY.
But, they didn't, did they?

WHY didn't they utter word one about it?
Your guess is as good as mine.
