Yeah anything to get the focus off the RCC. The focus should be on ALL of it anywhere, anytime, anyplace. And when it is an organization as large as the RCC AND covered up that is exactly where the focus should be.

The focus is there. If you've been keeping up, every employee that works with young people in a Catholic parish, school, scout troop, or religion class must have a background check done and take mandatory sessions on identifying child abuse.

I take a back seat to no one in condemning abuse, abusers, and bishop's who covered up.

But your attack has a very sectarian tinge to it.

And you've got some abusers in your own back yard to deal with.

That is not what I or this article was addressing.

And No, I don't have abusers of my own to deal with. I go to an independent church. As of right now, it has never had a problem like this. If it did, I would demand the preps be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, any one who tried to cover it also should be prosecuted. If this was not done, I would leave. I will not be associated with an organization who thinks that because everyone has this problem it makes it less offensive.
