Insurers receive UPWARD of 260 sex abuse cases per year in PROTESTANT churches.
From the Article:
"The three companies that insure the majority of Protestant churches in America say they typically receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by clergy, church staff, volunteers or congregation members."
You lose, Eckleburg.
"...Abuse reports do not always mean the accused was guilty, and they do not necessarily result in financial awards or settlements, the companies said. The reports include accusations against clergy, church staff and volunteers."
So we have 260 accusations of sexual abuse among "clergy, church staff and volunteers." That means janitors, local hires, office workers, etc.
The article further states...
"Church Mutual, GuideOne and Brotherhood Mutual each provided statistics on sex abuse claims to The Associated Press, although they did not produce supporting documentation or a way to determine whether the reports were credible."
So within the hundreds of thousands of Protestant churches in the United States we have 260 reports of suspected, unsubstantiated abuse per year among "clergy, church staff and volunteers."
Let us now compare one Roman Catholic diocese, the Los Angeles Diocese, who paid out on one day in 2007 over $660 million dollars to settle real, actual, proven sexual abuse cases against Roman Catholic priests.
One day. One city. $660 million.
If Roman Catholics think this is "losing," then I suppose that's the same logic that Ignatius Loyola used when he said that if the papacy says "black is white," then, by gosh, black is white. lol.
