Where’s the report on child abuse by muslim clergy?
Excellent point!
What about child abuse by the educational system?
What about child abuse at the hands of “teachers?”
Not surprising. The pervs go where the kids are. Almost every church has a youth program. Screening and background checks are key.
There is no such thing as child abuse for Muslims. If their prophet could marry a 6 year old and thigh her until she was 9 years old before consummating the marriage, then its not only ok, but a good thing.
It is vastly higher.
Our church also has a policy that teachers are never alone with children. Of course thats broken sometimes but it removes any question of a problem.
The usual Catholic haters will not be heard on this post, including some who profess to be Catholic that post numerous articles every day that portray the Church in a negative light.
Crickets!!!!!!
That is an excellent policy for any youth program. It protects both the kids and the adults.
The Easter Week Christian hit pieces are hitting a peak.
I agree with all of you yet the Catholic Church is singled out by the state-controlled MSM and by a few individuls here on FR.
Believe it or not Pravda has given a balanced perspective:-
“Much of the news coming out, in the effort to disguise ideological propaganda, contains the fundamental error of mistaking the wood with the trees ... especially when the aim is to denigrate. That is, from an isolated case, preferably rough outlines, and generalized in order to induce the reader to think that the whole is of the same nature. This generalization obviously has ideological connotations and follows a Political Agenda that seeks to deconstruct traditional society and all its secular institutions and to impose a New World Order after the manner of the sinister interests of the international oligarchy, the same ones that handle the financial markets and through them, largely control the global economy. We refer to cases of pedophilia within the ranks of the Catholic Church recently publicized by international news agencies.”...

The Education Department have a 10% pediphilia rate and there’s zero in the news about it. Pravdas’ point is well taken.
this article sounds as if it is the work of Catholics who want to point the finger and say “but...but...but....THEY did it TOO!”
“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”
Matthew 7:3
I had a protestant ask me once if priests not being allowed to marry contributed to the abuse. I told him that there are just as many, if not more, instances of abuse in protestant churches. Does having married pastors contribute to that????
Yes, they’ve posted two threads on the same topic within 24hrs on the week of Lent yet we all point our fingers at the Marxists...these posters are in bed with them. Their objective is just as the Pravda article portrayed which is the dissolution of the Catholic Church. The “religious” individuals here can’t see the forest for the trees. The Catholic Church goes down - we all go down - period!
It doesn’t matter if they are Catholic or Protestant or Catholic. They should be shot when found out and found guilty.
I don’t want to get into a anti Catholic thing here; but it seems the Catholic Church has not responded as forcefully as they should have to this.
Click the link in post #2. I’m posting this to show that it happens EVERYWHERE and most particularly where there are kids. The Catholic Church has done a yeoman’s job at preventative programs, so much so, that their programs been adopted by many Protestant Churches and other institutions.
“Protestant numbers are harder to come by, the AP reported, because the denominations are less centralized than the Catholic Church. Many churches are independent, making reporting even harder.”
The article disputes your claim. The objective of the relentless attack on the Catholic Church and only the Catholic Church ought to get you asking the question - why?
Why, when Protestants are higher in number and most particularly the Education Department. Is it the kids they’re concerned about or is it the take down the Catholic Church?
