Is the failure of these Catholic schools a result from all of the money bilked from the Catholics over bogus “repressed memory” sex abuse lawsuits?

Are you saying all of the sex abuse at catholic churches and schools was bogus??

“Are you saying all of the sex abuse at catholic churches and schools was bogus??”

As one who was out in front in removing those who abused others, the accusations were not “bogus” but vastly overstated. And the anti-Catholic MSM played it to the max!
Certainly there were sexual abuses by homosexuals on teenagers but the actual numbers of those who were involved in sexual abuse were a fraction of the number reported.
But one, is one too many! And I am proud to say that I helped remove more than one priest from our diocese!
Unfortunately, the Church was led to believe by psychologists that these abusers could be “cured” and for decades the Church was misled. Of course, now we know better and these violators are removed!

Finally, anyone who thinks that such abuses are only in the Catholic Church are fooling themselves. As there have been plenty of other religious, private and public schools, churches and synagogues that have been guilty too.

Nope. It was just very costly for them.
