[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not excusing the priest scandal at all-- but somehow we forget that there is a higher percentage of pedophile/child sex abusers in our public schools and no one shines a light in those people at all. [/quote]

Cite?[/quote]

This article also speaks about how teachers and administrators hide the abuse. Sound familiar?

Again, does not excuse the Church at all but there is a much bigger problem which people don't seem to want to acknowledge. [/quote]

Thanks, PP. Everyone should read this article if they really care about the issue of the abuse of children and are not here  just to bash. Read it and then let's stick to constructive comments. Is that too much to ask for on DCUM?[/quote]

Apparently. See the previous post (although I have to say, the haters are so crazy, that post could easily be a sock puppet). Nobody is excusing the Catholic hierarchy, but it would be wrong to either taint every Catholic with that brush, or to ignore the more systemic problems in our society.
