i really fail to see your point in posting this.
records clearly show, that the problems have been strongly addressed.
the current rates of abuse in the Catholic church,
are the lowest of ANY church in the world.
...and if you think other churches don’t cover theirs up,
EXACTLY as even the Boy Scouts did,
then there is no point in discussion.
-
when our society is becoming increasingly immoral,
with same-sex marriage and abortion condoned,
and even supported financially by the USA Government,
WHY do you wish to attack the largest Church in the USA,
which is on the frontlines, against such sin?
-
the public schools, have an abuse rate, of over 100 times,
of ANY Church. And the Catholic church is among the lowest.
...yet you are silent about those abused kids.
-
Christians girls are kidnapped and raped and forced to convert and marry, in Muslim countries.
...yet THIS is what you think Jesus wishes you,
to focus on ? a problem that has been almost eradicated?
-
...if we don’t start standing with fellow christians,
then our grandchildren WILL speak Arabic.
...as almost happened at the Gates of Vienna...
we almost lost Christianity then.
your priorities, are severely askew...

The article is recent, credible and worthy of discussion.

I never cease to be amazed by FRoman Catholics who wish to squelch all discussion on the issue of systemic child sex abuse in their church. It’s that same MO that got them into the mess.

If that doesn’t work they blame everyone else and proclaim, “hey, don’t blame us, everyone rapes children!”

The coverup and lack of recognition for what occurred is worse than the abuse.

None of these figures are part of the John Jay report. The abuse runs literally into the hundreds of thousands of children.

>>>i really fail to see your point in posting this.<<<

I can say the same of you. Pressuring someone to censor themselves when posting something critical of Catholicism is immediately reminiscent of the behavior of the muslims.

While the RCC is to be commended for its recent honesty in these matters it is still not going to be immediately absolved for systematically covering up sexual abuse up until recent days.

And the more people like you complain about posts like this the more I wonder what else you must be hiding.
