Statistically, they make the whole "Catholic abuse scandal" look like a tempest in a teapot. That's all I was saying.

The difference, however, is that in the RCC the crime is hidden and secrecy is invoked upon the victim under threat of excommunication for 10 years beyond the date of the victim's 18th birthday.

Whereas in public schools, any sexual offender is generally arrested, convicted and sent to jail. Unless some parents get to him first.

And this difference is enormous because the secrecy mandated by the RCC results in valid accusations of complicity and obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting criminals.

I'd honestly never heard anything like that. Troubling. Dr.E, do you happen to have a source citation from which I could read further?

I'm unlikely to change my opinion of the Public Schools as Public Enemy #1, but I would like to read some background on what you've discussed. If'n you have the time.
