When are you going to stop finger pointing and condemn your own priests and clergy who protected them and DID the shuffling?

And what about non-Catholic churches where the numbers are higher. Then think of the schools and family members when sexual abuse is even higher. Let me know when any of them claim to be THE ONE TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST, whose Popes are Vicars of Christ and whose priests are "In persona Christi". Thanks!

It is this horrible sexual abuse scandals that hurts the good and holy priests as well.
But also understand that this cannot be denied and going on the defensive is no help in coming to terms.

My priest is not a pedophile. Yu cant put all priests into this one category, just like you cant say that all women are nuts.
Nor all priests are pedophiles. Nobody's doing or saying that!!!

It’s more deflection and changing the subject and still, no condemnation of the priests who are guilty or their higher ups who protected them but not the laity they moved them to.

I'll say! Vatican meets #MeToo: Nuns denounce their abuse by priests Of course, not all priests do this. In my catholic hight school, I did not know anyone who was abused, or no one admitted it.
We always did wonder what the high school priests (3 of them) were doing with the nuns in the convent down the street. We simply did not know. I do know, however, that one of those priests did marry the school secretary. It was a big scandal. Her son and daughter, were my classmates. They didn't like it much. All I knew, is what went on in my school. I never heard about any others. This was a time when information was not passed around much.

I remember hearing rumors back when I was in the sixth through eight grades (60’s) at a Catholic school I attended about the priests messing around with the nuns. Who doesn’t remember the stories about little babies being buried behind convents?

But they haven’t been convicted in court. Nevertheless the list of names is easy to find online. Harrisburg’s list, that is.
To: ClearCase_guy
priests and others should be able to defend themselves in a court of law...going up against innuendo from decades ago is not justice....
every case against any priest should be in a court of law...

Looking at the Harrisburg list, it appears to run the gamut from Priests who have been convicted or against whom there is very solid evidence for the charge, and others who were the focus of an online accusation years after they had left their parish.
It looks like they cast a very wide net in order to boost the total numbers. I think at least some of these Priests may have a case for being slandered.

In his later years my great-uncle had stopped wearing his Roman collar in public. He had noticed that people started herding their children away from him when they saw it. Tragic.
