Not surprising. The pervs go where the kids are. Almost every church has a youth program. Screening and background checks are key.

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.

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????

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.

Bit less than 1/4 the "rate".

Depends on how you talk about these numbers ~ obviously Catholics are a minority religion in America. At the same time there's no particular majority religion, and Protestants move around all the time making it somewhat difficult to count.

I think what we need to know is if these insurance claims are made against any particular denomination, e.g. Episcopalean, Universalists, Unitarians, or other likely target (with money in the bank).

Non-Catholic organizations may be worse, but that does not excuse the molester-enabling actions of gay-friendly bishops and JP2. It will be a travesty if JP2 goes beyond the beatification stage to receive full sainthood.

They need to do a report on public schools, seems more widespread than any church

Obviously, the protestants aren’t as good at hiding their sins as are the catholics.

Thanks for posting. This is a problem that needs pre-emptive addressing in more prominent ways...the tendency is to hide it under the rug. [But no evidence of the hiding per this article]

I don’t see the usual suspects here.

I wonder why...
