It is not built into the tenets of any Protestant church I know of, or any public school or summer camp or Boy Scout troop to keep accusations of sexual abuse quiet, away from police and even parents, and to simply “handle them in house.”

In fact, those organizations have regulations in place that demand that any suspicion or accusation of sexual assault on children be brought to police authorities.

Not Rome. Rome says to only tell someone in the RC hierarchy. In fact, Rome swears to secrecy ALL people involved, such that parents are restrained from going to the police under thread of excommunication.

Read the links in 27. Rome stands condemned by its own hand.

Right, right, right...........and that applies to every possible instance of sex abuse, in every possible situation in every part of the world.

Right?

Secrecy always. Anyone who goes to the authorities is excommunicated every time, correct? The Pope said that, didn't he? "I'm going to excommunicate anybody who talks to the cops", right??

Wow, thanks Doc. That's amazing!

We sure are lucky to have you to enlighten us on these matters.
