{{{sigh}}}} 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. The power to retain or remit sins, for instance. If you were an abuse victim of a priest, and you have been taught that that priest has the power to retain or remit your sins, and you cannot get to heaven in a sinful state, then you are at the mercy of the RCC to save yourself from the sin of that priest against you. Can you not see the difference?? There is not protestant organization that claims she has the power to retain someone’s sins. That is the hideous nature of sexual abuse in the RCC. The POWER that abusing priest holds against his victim. Or shall I say the POWER that victim THINKS that priest has over him.
You are so correct. The priest who molested you is the one who hears your confession and has the power to retain your sins and hang you eternal salvation over your head and you are going to speak up? And yet if there were a teacher who held a kid’s grades over their head to shut them up about sexual abuse, they’d be skinned alive. No punishment would be too great for them. But a priest? It’s a different story to a Catholic.
It’s blackmail at the highest level. Grades don’t even begin to compare to eternity in hell.
Totally missed by the RC’s who are busy defending that kind of abomination.
The Catholic church has engaged in cover-ups and it’s been exposed and they STILL won’t admit that the church did anything wrong.
Reminds me of Fonzie on Happy Days one time when he was trying to admit he was wrong about something and the word *wrong* would just not come out of his mouth.
