[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do understand that the stats on priest abuse are very similar to abuse in leadership in other faiths? It isn't just a "Catholic" issue.  It is a human issue.[/quote]

This is why you have to leave OP. 
The people who stay will keep normalizing abuse and the leadership will keep covering it up. Nothing will change until a mass exodus forces change. Be a part of the solution.[/quote]

I read that as a warning, not a normalization.[/quote]

It’s not a warning. Catholics telling themselves that abuse happens everywhere is normalizing the decades long cover ups and abuse in the Catholic Church. There is no other Christian Church (that isn’t a cult) with this level of sexual abuse of children and a commitment by Church hierarchy to cover it up. The reason you can’t name a single other Christian denomination with this much sexual abuse is because it doesn’t exist. Maybe if you added ALL the cases of preacher affairs abd known child abuse in ALL other churches you would come close to a fraction of what has been going on in the Catholic Church.

So, please name ONE other Church with hundreds of known cases of child abuse by clergy and documented efforts by the Church hierarchy in every state to cover it up. [/quote]
