To: TSgt; Elendur
Very good. Thank you, TSgt. A quick and pertinent response.

Now, two questions:

"in the past 2 decades, the church rate, has been reduced to almost zero."

(1) Is this true?

And, if true:

Considering that, of the relatively small number of institutions in the USA which DO morally object to active homosexuality, these are two of the largest and most visible...

(2) Is there some legitimate point --- not justification of abuse, nor deflection of responsibility ---- but some legitimate point --- in questioning the litigation and media focus on the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts in particular?

This is a thought question.

Very good. Thank you, TSgt. A quick and pertinent response.

But inaccurate.

TSgt: A FReeper recently told me that the church had eliminated all cases of abuse and that abuse now only occurs in public schools

What Freeper Elendur actually said: “in the past 2 decades, the church rate, has been reduced to almost zero.

Problem: Are the words "eliminated all cases" and "almost zero" synonymous?

Solution: Let x = the number of Catholic sex abuse cases. In the latter phrase, x > 0. In the former phrase, x = 0.

An excellent example of a Freeper who is both mathematically and linguistically challenged.
