I'm still waiting for these law firms to start putting out lists of public school teachers that have been accused.

Apples and oranges. Teachers get caught and sentenced. They don't have an organization which can protect them the way the RCC does. Watch the movie "Spotlight" based on true events in which the Boston Globe broke open stories of molestation. The Church used every dirty trick in the book to evade justice and protect their corruption.
The victims stories were the saddest. "I didn't just lose my innocence but I lost my faith". They felt like they could never go into a church again. That is the evil these cases cause.

The coverup is what makes these crimes all the worse.

I’ve been learning in just my little 500-person town that I just moved to that there was a molestation scandal in the 70s and the guilty party was protected by the RCC and escaped justice.

It might well explain why some of the older people really, REALLY got upset when I used to do the chanting parts of the church liturgy because they considered it ‘too Catholic.’

It really is horrifying to contemplate.

Spotlight wasn’t even that bad. There are other factual documentaries out there are worse.

You're living in a fantasy world. Have you ever heard of the teachers' union?

But read for yourself. This is only one article. The only difference is the media fixation on Catholics. Every other group gets a big ho-hum, even when the abuse is more pervasive, ongoing, and obviously covered up.

How a culture of covering up sex abuse at public schools is hurting children — and costing taxpayers millions
