With these continued large settlements, it appears the Catholic church seems to have undeniably institutionalized perversion. The settlements happen when the problem is brought to light and cleaned up, not when it's "undeniably institutionalized".
Call me when the immense number of child molesters in public schools lead to some "large settlements".
It appears there are more problems with the Catholic church than with public schools, even with the current rate of public school teachers having sex with students.
That speaks pretty badly for the Catholic church, doesn’t it?
Campion, isn’t the whole point, that there should have been ZERO tolerance? It certainly has been rumored, gossiped, for EONS that the priests were up to something? Now, in an atheist, non religious setting, we might be more guarded, but when you enter the church, is not the veil of distrust lifted?
This is a crime of trust, and actually worse because of that breaking of trust. This is like the police coming to your home, pointing a gun at you, robbing your place. They are supposed to be the protectors, not the criminals!
