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.

What about them?

It has seldom been the case that Freepers who want one filthy den of child predators cleaned up defend another group. The exception on this forum is the champions for aduld women who prey on underage boys.

I do not recall you ever debating against them on those threads Salvation. Show me where I have missed your defense of children there.

Before you get too “Others do worse” here, I’ll point out the “Humiliation of the Southern Baptist Convention” was about a pastor, in the 60s, recommending a woman stay with an abusive husband. He also had the nerve to suggest teenage boys were normal in noticing a young woman’s beauty.

Oh...and he was fired.

How that is comparable to the Catholic problem with homosexual priests, I don’t know. Apart from sin being sin.

It is worse in public school.

The difference is that there is not an institutional hierarchy that diligently protects them. Its one thing for a preacher to molest someone. It’s worse when the higher ups in the church quickly shuffle them elsewhere and hide their activity.

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!

Got to realize that the Church NEEDS a house cleaning BIGTIME.
