The 696-page report barely mentions homosexuality in describing priests' predation.
(LifeSiteNews) –– A five-year investigation just published by the office of Illinois’ Attorney General reports that 451 Catholic clergy sexually abused nearly 2,000 children, a number vastly greater than previously reported by the state’s six dioceses before the investigation began.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul recounted in a news conference that his office discovered priests and religious brothers had abused 1,997 children in Illinois since 1950.
The 696-page Illinois report comes just one month after Maryland’s Attorney General released a nearly 500-page report detailing sexual abuse of children and teens by clergy of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and the groundbreaking 1,356-page Pennsylvania grand jury report published in 2018 that exposed decades of clerical sex abuse and Church cover-up.
“It is my hope that this report will shine light both on those who violated their positions of power and trust to abuse innocent children, and on the men in church leadership who covered up that abuse,” said Raoul, lamenting that in many cases the statute of limitations had passed or that the credibly accused priests had died. “These perpetrators may never be held accountable in a court of law, but by naming them here, the intention is to provide a public accountability and a measure of healing to survivors who have long suffered in silence.”
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, better known as SNAP, released a statement calling the report “stunning” and described the many victim narratives recounted in the report as “harrowing to read.”
The Illinois report predictably does its best to steer clear of tying the sexual abuse by Catholic priests to homosexuality, preferring to remain ambiguous, repeatedly using the non-gendered term “child sex abuse” when speaking about the nature of the clerical predation......

I posted this earlier but from a USA Today source and it got pulled.
Defamation.
They will not do the same for the public schools !
Are you saying the report isn’t true? You cannot “defame” a person, or an institution, by saying true things about them.
Now do the ‘gender affirming care’ folks !
If homosexuality is this rampant in the Catholic Church, this religion will become mandatory. The church needs to clear this out, but with a Marxist Pope and the homosexual infiltration, I’m not hopeful
Wait, homosexuality has something to do with it? What?
Well by golly, you catch on fast !
“Are you saying the report isn’t true?”
It was written by Democrats in Illinois. Are you really comfortable saying it is true?
This is how faggots operate. They infiltrate institutions and take it over and find their victims from the inside of the institution.
There is a reason that God calls faggotry an abomination!!!
Look at how much destruction has been caused by the societal embrace of faggotry in the last 15 years!
You are nuts if you think the same quantity and frequency occurs in the public schools. It does not
Priests - the quintessential groomers.
It was sadly true in California
Cardinal Bernadine’s archdiocese. After his death, the Cardinal who succeeded him had to bring many exorcist’s into the diocese because it was overrun with demonic activity. Bernadine was a Satanist and a degenerate pervert.
But it’s Illinois so who knows what is the truth here.
Now do CPS.
L
You want to stop the perverts in the Biden administration, start by hanging some clergy.
Well, it’s what they do best isn’t it?
Every practicing catholic I’ve ever known is in denial of this no matter how much evidence you show them.
Really? The public schools are far far higher !
and I certainly trust nothing out of any blue run legal system. They have shown themselves to be beyond corrupt on ever issue !!!
