It goes on in all religions.
Baptist congregations typically strip their pastors of their positions immediately upon learning of any credible accusations of any kind of abuse, and the Southern Baptist Convention kickes them out of the convention.
Abusers are everywhere. How they're handled sends a signal to the perps and victims alike.
Exactly. My problem isn't with these nutcake predatory creeps who seem to have have taken over the US RC priesthood in the US, it's with the US BISHOPS, like Cardinal Law, who have actively worked to ennable & protect all these bogus "priests" pursuing their decadent lifestyles on the rank & file Catholic's hard earned dime- via the weekly collection basket. Get these weirdo sleaze-bucket predators, & their apologists & ennablers, OUT OF THE CHURCH, ...NOW!!!!!
