Truth be told, if any one of you think that Priests and Nuns were the only sexual abusers that went off with only the treatment of the time, you are very sorely mistaken.

Sorry guys, history is set in stone.
This the the way MOST sexual abusers were treated. From a Catholic point of view or a Public School POV, or a summer camp POV, etc. It was wrong but so we learned.

It’s much more fun to focus on a tree than to look at the forrest.

Where have I ever said, on any thread that the church was the only entity that abuses children?

Link to support your assertion.

I have said that the Church did ( and is continuing to do ) something wrong. It has attempted to abrogate it’s responsibility to make these children who it harmed as whole as possible. A lawsuit, or action by the state should never have been required.

I do not give anyone else who harms children in this way a pass either. Your straw man has no weight, and your attempt to deflect my question by accusing me of holding only the church accountable for wrong doings...explains exactly how the church got in the position it is now in. Does it not?
