If you have a large enough number of people, there will always be at least a few bad apples.
We’ve all heard about the priest pedophile scandal here in the US. Actually, it was a priest homosexual scandal (but the media didn’t want to say that.)
And most of it happened during the glorious 70s, when the sexual revolution was in full swing and “sexual freedom” was being broadcast everywhere.
I’m not excusing the bishops and those who covered it up. But similar crimes in the public schools—and in Protestant ministries—were several times larger, and nothing said.
Ireland has been sadly secularized, and this is nothing more or less than a secular attack on the Church. They want to destroy the Church and bring in the modern social goodies like free sex and abortion. Will there be fewer kids abused when that happens? Of course not. It will be far worse for the kids in Ireland. Far worse.
The Left plays this as an issue to trash the institution of the Church. There is sexual abuse among public school teachers as well. And cover ups. And Planned Parenthood covers up child abuse too.
And then there are the Boy Scouts, who try to limit the access of homosexual men to young boys on overnight stays and are penalized by the State for exercising such caution.
This cover up wasn’t just a local thing, Cicero. It went all the way back to the Vatican, which kept a running total.
That sort of international conspiracy takes this to a completely new level of perversion, which includes all in Vatican City that helped the raping of children to continue.
