Isn’t that the point, that the Catholic church was covering up these crimes during over those decades?
Sure thats the point of the article. My point is that society in general was covering these crimes up during those times.
At least I don’t ever remember hearing about them growing up.
No. The point is that the Catholic Church was committing those crimes, as is plainly obvious.
Nobody “covered it up”; the reports trickled for decades until there was a need for mass attack by the MSM creating the impression of some major “cover up.”
BTW, the “children” involved were mostly boys: 90%+.
MSM disclose or cover up things to manipulate public opinion. It’s very effective.
