public schools have abuse at 100 times the church rate. in the past 2 decades, the church rate, has been reduced to almost zero. ...public schools, also cover it up, at 100 times the church rate. ...once again, the liberal media, ignores the alligator, to swat mosquitos.

This response is not helpful. Yes, yes the public school are Godless, secular cess pools (well, some of them are anyway). Should teachers and administrators be dealt with harshly? Of course! If they haven't been, shame on the DA's in those districts. Show me the articles where the principal AND the head of the school district okayed the transfer of an abusive teacher. Because the coverup by the people in charge is far more scandalous than anything any individual sinner has done. That's what Catholics are dealing with. Maybe it's happening in the public schools and maybe it's not. I have no idea, but I don't believe it's relevent to the behavior of men of God.

Well now you do:

Forgotten Study: Abuse in School 100 Times Worse than by Priests

Has Media Ignored Sex Abuse In School?

but I don't believe it's relevent(sic) to the behavior of men of God.

What's relevant is the fact that the media, the public and many freepers - including yourself - choose to be ignorant of the epidemic of the sexual abuse of minors by employees in public education. Many even find it to be a lauging matter when the perp is a woman they find even mildly attractive. Behind every double standard lies an unconfessed single standard.

It is not irrelevant . The bishops have been corrupted by falling in line with the thinking of the leaders of our society. In short, they have let the majority of Catholics be assimilated to an increasingly pagan view of the world. Not the first time, as was pointed out. It happened before the Reformation. Unfortunately the reformers let the same thing happen to them. Luther became a tool of the German princes, and even Calvin embroiled his movement in the politic of France (His French name was Cauvin). Knox used politics to establish the Kirk, and Cranmer did the same to reform the English Church to his image of Christ. Only a few sects, such as the Mennonites, kept their skirts clean. So we get to a religious tyranny under Cromwell.
