The Catholic Church never really had a pedophile problem, it had a homosexual infiltration problem. I’ve been convinced for years that there was a long-term conscious effort to infiltrate and corrupt it.
All the major churches have been infiltrated.
I maybe heard of ONE or TWO girls being victims from priests.
Husband and I went to a conservative affair in New Jersey years ago and met a monsignor who told us he was involved in interviewing applicants for a seminary. He personally had rejected several homosexuals and that there was an ongoing effort by the communists to infiltrate seminaries with their applicants.
If the media and culture compared the Catholic church, as a whole, to the US K-12 education establishment as a whole, I would not be surprised if it were revealed the schools are more full of predators than the RC church.
I agree.
