[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Catholic church does a lot of good. Why do people always focus only on the bad things that have happened in the church? There are no institutions that have not had bad things happen within the institution. Schools are experiencing a huge crisis with female teachers sexually abusing their students, but I don’t see people here saying they are taking their kids out of public schools because of sexual abuse within the schools. The federal government has basically turned their back on the huge and constant sexual abuse problems within the military. Every institution has problems like that. Children are more likely to be sexually abused by a family member than a priest or teacher.

Every thread here involving the Catholic church focuses exclusively on the problems of the church. I don’t think the church has handled the issue of sexual abuse well at all. They really messed up. They definitely hid the problem and refused to deal with it in a timely and open, honest manner. But there are also many, many positive things the church has done and continues to do.

If you are going to withdraw yourself and your kids from the Catholic church because of sexual abuse, are you going to withdraw yourself and your kids from every other institution in America and be consistent because every institution has the same problems and same issues with confronting the issues as the Catholic church did/does. -not a Catholic [/quote]

The Catholic church is the only church suing to protect Pedophiles.

And your post is utter BS.

Most Pediofiles are church members, ie Priests, Pastors, Ministers, pick up a dad newspaper weekly in this country add police officers and religious privates to this list.

An epidemic of sexual abuse in schools
Shoddy investigations, quiet resignations, and a culture of secrecy have protected predators, not students.

A Business Insider investigation puts a spotlight on an epidemic of sexual abuse in high schools.
Thousands of documents show how predator teachers are repeatedly protected instead of students.
And there's little oversight on how school districts deal with offenders, my colleague reports.

Do actual research yourself.

yup, public schools have an average of almost 29000 pedophile cases a YEAR.  And if you aren't hearing about them it is because they are being covered up!

Not even DC's top private schools are immune.

Lets see.  In the cited private school cases, the schools generally fired the person quickly, and the teacher himself cooperated.  A huge contrast with the cover up by the Catholic Bishops.
