[Dr. Eckleburg]

If we multiply "upward of 260" times the 57 years since 1950, that's not a number that makes anyone comfortable

Did you read the article? That excerpt reads in full...

"upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by clergy, church staff, volunteers or congregation members.

That tally includes all sorts of people, not just the clergy. Unlike the RCC clergy whose ranks are literally filled with sexual deviates.

The priest in question may or may not be in agreement with The Holy See.

I should have said "may not be in agreement with the Vatican" here.

Well then.......good news, Doc!

A Church "literally filled" with "sexual deviates" (sic) is unlikely to last too long, wouldn't you say? A church so deeply rotten will undoubtedly self-destruct......and soon.

Are we agreed?

Good.

Here's a suggestion; hold your breath and don't let it out until it happens.

You know the most recent per year number for the RCC, don't you?

The fact that only some of the 260 per year are clergy isn't much of a comfort.

Beyond all that, my point is that none of us can relax our guard. The predators are unrelenting so we have to deny them the opportunities to abuse.
