My assessment as well. Wonder how many Catholic posters have been in a school or a faculty member where abuse occurred.

Sorry Obama already used the victimization meme with Benghazi.

I think the challenge involved turning in someone before an outside claim was made. We military types would call that the IG finding a problem before it becomes a problem. The Army does not move bad commanders and senior NCOs to another unit. They relieve them. If they break the law they prosecute them. I have been an Article 32 investigating officer a few times. Sexual misconduct especially involving child abuse are dealt with expeditiously. If found guilty it is hard time at Leavenworth.

NKP_Vet: Percentage wise there is more sexual abuse in protestant faiths than Catholicism.

smvoice: It has absolutely NOTHING to do with percentage wise. It has EVERYTHING to do with the POWER the RCC claims it has over its members

You, smvoice, seem indifferent to the higher percentage of child abuse in the ranks of Protestantism (as reported by NKP_Vet.) That's unfortunate.

NKP_Vet, if you have that data available, please post. Let's spread the shame.

Not to undermine your brilliant analogy, but the only victims here are the abused children.

I find it difficult to come to that conclusion reading some posts here. But I agree with you.

Please do post such accounts. You will see condemnations of such sin and crimes against youth. There will not be the “not as bad as we thought” comments seen here.

>> You will see condemnation

Perhaps one day — assuming there’s child abuse in the ranks of Protestantism.

Well, I see the distinct exploitation of child abuse to revile Catholics as a whole.

Have ya seen how some Catholics use Luther?

Atrocious things happened, and the past cannot be changed. No one wants to see it ever happen again.

AMEN!

I know; as I do my share.

But really; both sides do have problems; as we are all made up of sinful people: some more heinous in human eyes than others.

I sure don’t want to be seen as a Pharisee; comparing myself to a publican.

Heck; I don’t want to BE one; either!

I’m sure we all agree there’s not an acceptable fraction unless nada. Nonetheless, I hope the data is forthcoming.

Files Show Chicago Archdiocese Hid Decades Of Child Sex Abuse
January 21, 2014 8:48 AM
Updated 01/21/14 – 12:57 p.m.

CHICAGO (CBS/AP) – After a 13-year-old boy reported in 1979 that a priest raped him and later threatened him at gunpoint to keep quiet, the Archdiocese of Chicago assured the boy’s parents that although the cleric avoided prosecution, he would receive treatment and have no further contact with minors.

But the Rev. William Cloutier, who already had been accused of molesting other children, was returned to ministry a year later and accused of more abuse before he resigned in 1993, two years after the boy’s parents filed a lawsuit. Officials took no action against Cloutier over his earliest transgressions because he “sounded repentant,” according to internal archdiocese documents released Tuesday that show how the archdiocese tried to contain a mounting scandal over child sexual abuse. ... read article at: CBS Chicago
