So you would say 1.2 to 1.8 million sexually abused children in France alone?
I believe there are many millions of cases of child sex abuse by predator priests across the world
That doesn’t mean all victims will ever come forward.
It is humiliating, there are emotional issues in reporting a religious leader. You’ve mixed up sexual shame, victimhood and religion into a toxic brew.
The ones that do come forward - often as adults in their 30s or later are the exception. Most quietly bear their shame.
As to the predator priests, they operated around the world. They were shuffled around to green pastures. They were known by bishops and the vatican for decades. And many are still priests today.
The abuse of someone like this is rarely a single event. 70% of child sex offenders have between one and 9 victims, while 20% have 10 to 40 victims.
The 300,000 that came forward in france are the tip of an iceberg, the bulk of which will never be seen publicly.
