The Catholic Church’s record of aggressive and proactive protective measures is unparalleled in any organization today. Since the beginning of the abuse crisis, the Catholic Church:

has instituted a “zero tolerance” policy in which any credibly accused priest is immediately removed from ministry. Law enforcement is also notified;

has trained over 5 million children in giving them skills to protect them from abuse;

has trained over 2 million adults, including 99 percent of all priests, in recognizing signs of abuse;

has conducted over 2 million background checks, including those in the intensified screening process for aspiring seminarians and priests;

has installed “Victim Assistance Coordinators” in every diocese, “assuring victims that they will be heard”;

has conducted annual independent audits of all dioceses to monitor compliance with the groundbreaking 2002 Charter for Protection of Children and Young People;

has instituted in all dioceses abuse review boards – often composed of child welfare experts, child psychologists, and abuse experts – to examine any claims of abuse against priests.

No other organization even comes close to implementing the measures the Catholic Church has taken to protect children in its care. In this regard, the Catholic Church in the 21st century is the model for other institutions to follow in the safeguarding of youth.

You totally ignored my post.

How did you come to want to measure Priests, by the standards of regular people, run of the mill people who are teachers?

It also seems that now you want to make this about pedophilia rather than homosexuality.

I guess that strategy switches from thread to thread.
