Rhetorical MSM question:
Why are teachers who prey on young children treated as isolated incidents, yet the same problem with the priesthood was treated as systemic?
One non-rhtorical answer might be,
" Because Church authorities, WHEN INFORMED, simply moved the offender to a different assignment, not telling the new parish/diocese of the probelm...again, and again, and again?"
IOW, in the one case, it was official concealment; in the other, when acts come to light, the offender is officially removed and prosecuted.
Because priests molest children as a result of the Church's outmoded policy of priestly celibacy (even though most of the cases of abuse involved the abuse of teenage boys, and that public school teachers abuse children at a much higher rate).
The media won't let facts get in the way of their dogmatic beliefs.
In Boston the media has taken the double-standard to the next level by criticizing the Church on a daily basis for closing schools and parishes as a result of the financial damages awarded against the Church.
