Post 36 ~ Catholic priests and religious leaders have a higher authority they answer to and are viewed as someone who can be trusted more than the other careers listed.
When a priest or a pastor abuses that position and relationship, it is incredibly more harmful than any other.
Souls are at stake, not only of those abused, but of those who are witness to the evil. ~
I agree with what you posted, especially, “When a priest or a pastor abuses that position and relationship, it is incredibly more harmful than any other.”
I was sexually molested by a Monsignor at 9 years old in the Sacristy (!) causing untold trauma ~ but the reason I posted this was to show the media disconnect from the facts ~ they present the case as if it is primarily Priests and pastors ~ regardless of the facts!
May you and yours have a blessed day.
