[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All people with unchecked powers are shady. Has very little to do with religion and everything to do with teaching people to stand up for themselves. What is the #metoo movement? Same thing. Every "industry", including organized religions, have this problem. Children should be taught to be strong and powerful, not weak and meek. Same for women. Let's get people empowered!

I completely agree that these kinds of abuses result in every industry where people are in positions of power. But I think this is extra, extra sickening because of the role religion serves to organize people's lives, eternity, and worth in a way that does not utilize the concept of "forever" like entertainment and politics. It's an abuse like no other, because these men - and the many, many men who enabled abusers in the Catholic Church - betrayed people on a whole other level. The systemic nature of it all also seems much, much more deeply rooted. But yes, people in positions of power will often abuse their roles, when it comes to matters of women and children.
