Percentage wise more sex abuse with minors in protestant faiths. Look it up. But they have no money, so that’s why you never hear about it.
We can’t whitewash this. THOUSANDS of priests in the US were involved in this and Lord knows how many victims.
This is a terrible stain on our Church. In my archdiocese alone (L.A.) the Church was forced sign over a $660 billion settlement which will impact us for decades.
These priests are supposed to be celibate and holy. The Church is supposed to be at a higher level and held to higher standards than other institutions.
This pedophile/homosexual priest scandal is beyond revulsion. Purely evil.
As an aside: I learned a few years ago that the priest who married my wife and I was defrocked by the Church because he was romantically involved with an adult woman. Imagine if he was caught molesting altar boys...the Church would have simply transferred him to another parish like they did with so many others.
