I acknowledged the abuse in the public system - at least twice now if you bothered to read.  I mentioned the school in Mo Co that covered up a scandal.

There are pedophiles everywhere - from businesses to schools.

However, if your brain functioned you'd understand my point - [b]that churches represent some higher entity, some benevolent being that protects its adherents.  What protection were these children given? [/b] Did you read the other article I posted - about sending these pedophiles to poor villages?  just pass them along in the name of God

FWIW, I'm no onlooker, honey bunny.  ex-Catholic here who stopped years ago 
Catholic school product, too . . .

I'm not the goddamn hypocrite.[/quote]

I can clear up your confusion.  The churches do not represent a higher entity, some benevolent being that protects its adherents.

The churches represent people getting together in community to worship the higher entity and it is subject to the same human frailties as any other institution of men.

You appear to put higher expectations on a church than a school in terms of how children are treated and so you excuse the latter but not the former.  But the two situations are not really different.  If anything, a school that is set up solely to serve the interests of minor children and not a broader community should have the highest expectations put upon it in terms of dealing with child abuse.
