We know that, perhaps, homosexuals made a special effort to penetrate the Latin Church where their disinterest in the opposite sex might go unnoticed, and that pedophiles tend to penetrate any institution that deals with children. We know that pedophilia infects public schools in greater numbers than the churches and private schools, and that the non-Catholic religious institutions are just as prone to abuse as the Catholic Church. I don’t know of specifics in other geographies.
As an American Catholic I care for the Catholic Church in America in a special way, this is why I singled out the American Church in my post.
I was wondering if it was an especially US problem.
