This is stupid... 600 cases in almost a century...
Coverups like what happened back then was the norm in every part of our societies due to the sigma attached. Should we blame the various states for abuses happening in juvenile prisons, orphanages etc..?
When you bring up many decades worth of abuses it sounds like abuse is really common. But that’s just because it is only the Catholic Church that is attacked in this way. What would the numbers look like if you did a similar statistic for schools for instance..?
I don’t understand how Catholics came to think that Priests are just like one of the many millions of regular people that get work as school teachers, even I was a teacher in the military.
