I’m glad that some of these stories are getting out there. The “Priest” stories got out there because the media hates the Catholic Church.

Looks like more are coming for both schools and other denominations. They say, that in schools, this happens at least once a week in the United States.

Five stories posted back-to-back in just 45 minutes last night, and then two more this afternoon. Every one is about a non-Catholic pastor or minister. Every one is a tragedy. And not one was about a public school teacher.

Washington County (AL) pastor charged with sex crime - The Rev. Leonard Frazier, 55, of Stonewall Baptist Church
Youth minister charged in suburban Pittsburgh teen's death - Keith Owens, of Petra International Ministries
Broward minister charged in teen's pregnancy - the Rev. Cory Cortezis Lewis of the Church Of God By Faith
Pastor in Puyallup charged with child molesting - The Rev. Forrest Lee Hudson, 65, pastor of Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church
Child molester sentenced to 10 years in prison,Carmel church elder who admitted molesting girl - Terry Van Gorp, elder at College Park Church

what happens in schools pales in comparison to the church. school abuse cases are reported almost daily but the press usually does not follow up on them and doesn’t add up the statistics or make note of transfers. FReeper jasoncann has a “naughtyteacherlist” ping list of just the females which often go unreported.

No, the Catholic Church gave the media a great story because of the cover up it did for years. If the Church had turned a priest in when it happened (rather than just do a transfer), there wouldn't have been any story like there was when it all came out. Don't blame others for the mistake the Church made.
