W#hat objective data do you have to substantiate this claim, Sink?
Nothing objective. Just the consideration of human nature.
Clerical abuse of young men and the protection of it by bishops didn't just spring up, overnight, in 1965.
Even the figures from Boston indicate that there were abuse cases extending back as far as the 1930s.
Remember, the likelihood of a victim coming forward in the days of the imperial priesthood was remote. Who would believe them?
There was no sunlight on clerical sin, then. There is now, and that is a very good thing.
