[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the previous poster for sharing the Bishop Accountability website link. While I would never say never (and it seems only one priest was arrested and jailed for actions in 2018 and immediately reported), what I can tell you is that it has become much harder for young people to be sexually abused by priests. There are far fewer priests. Next, there are just fewer opportunities to be alone with minors. Almost all the kid/youth activities I have been involved in, including a service learning trip for a week, required multiple chaparones. Kids are not left alone with just one adult making access to kids difficult. Also, if you are a volunteer, you have to undergo a thorough background check - to include fingerprints and training to recognize 'grooming" techniques. This included a movie which was tough to watch. I think there certainly is a hypervigilance of parents/youth workers and the clergy around here. [/quote]
