Too often, problem teachers are allowed to leave quietly. That can mean future abuse for another student and another school district.It’s a dynamic so common it has its own nicknames—“passing the trash” or the “mobile molester.”
If only the priests would marry... Oh, wait!
just read an article on Drudge about a nun who got pregnant, had a baby, and named it after the Pope! Things that make you wonder what is going on....
“available research suggests that approximately two to five per cent of priests have had a sexual experience with a minor” which “is lower than the general adult male population” – in which the percentage of those who have interfered with minors “is best estimated to be closer to eight per cent”. “
If this is comparing apples to apples - if “had a sexual experience with a minor” and “interfered with minors” is referring to the same thing, then I am very skeptical of the claim that 8 percent of the general population have done so.
Catholic priests and Bishops haven’t exactly been well known throughout history for having a high morality, despite the party line:
“If morals be inquired into, we shall find few or almost none whom the ancient canons would not have judged unworthy. If one was not a drunkard, he was a fornicator; if one was free from this vice, he was either a gambler or sportsman, or a loose liver in some respect. For there are lighter faults which, according to the ancient canons, exclude from the episcopal office. But the most absurd thing of all is, that even boys scarcely ten years of age are, by the permission of the Pope, made bishops. Such is the effrontery and stupidity to which they have arrived, that they have no dread even of that last and monstrous iniquity, which is altogether abhorrent even from natural feeling. Hence it appears what kind of elections these must have been, when such supine negligence existed... the general and approved practice is (and it is carried on as it were systematically), that drunkards, fornicators, gamblers, are everywhere promoted to this honour; nay, this is little: bishoprics are the rewards of adulterers and panders: for when they are given to hunters and hawkers, things may be considered at the best.” (John Calvin, The Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 4, Ch. 5)
A priest molests or rapes a young boy(s) and gets caught...He is then shuffled to another parish to continue the same dirty deed...This goes on for his lifetime in your religion...
Some priests are known to have affected the lives of 200 boys or so during their career...
THAT is the issue...There's a religious institution that condones and aids in this perversion of our male youth...Your religion appears to be the major recruitment center for the queer movement in the World...
And then, these queer priests go on to become bishops and cardinals and likely popes...
“available research suggests that approximately two to five per cent of priests have had a sexual experience with a minor” which “is lower than the general adult male population” – in which the percentage of those who have interfered with minors “is best estimated to be closer to eight per cent”. In other words, children who have anything to do with priests are between 1.6 and four times LESS likely to be abused by them than by anyone else.”
Seems they don’t teach maths in the UK either.
Just so sick and depraved.

I never have thought that the Catholic church is the only organization with child abuse issues. I’ve thought that it is a large organization that uses it’s bureaucracy to conceal the actions of those who molest children and that other large organizations do so also compared with smaller churches that simply can’t transfer their pedo’s out of the country or to other parts of the nation as easily.
But I don’t see celebrating the 8% versus 3-5% because I believe the 8% of the general male population tends toward a majority of female victims along with males and the priests are more likely to focus on males which are molested at lower rates than girls anyway. So I am saying it’s an apples to oranges comparison - not one I’d wave as proof etc.

Satan is at work, among those of faith and those who reject faith.
Good article n
Biblically speaking (and there is no other authority)since Catholicism was founded on false doctrine it has always been and will always be a natural shelter for every kind of evil.
The problem was never how many priests did it, the problem has always been how the Church dealt (or really didn’t) with it. No organization is immune from scumbags, but you can’t cover it up, you can’t declare your group above the law.
Sexual abuse happens everywhere. Taking great pains to hide the abusers is the Catholic problem.
