[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These crimes happen in every church - the abuse and the cover up. It's horrible and inexcusable, and has no influence on my ability to reconcile with the decision to remain Catholic.[/quote]

[b]Tell me more about that. Here and there? Or on a grand scale like the Catholics?[/quote][/b]

+1.  Nothing like this has happened in other churches.  It's the celibate priesthood and the power structure that encourages the abuse.[/quote]

The AU government created a Royal Commission to investigate institutional sexual abuse, it is a well done investigation. It shows that the majority of abuse reports in religious institutions were from the Catholic Church, but that all of the churches investigated had a similar pattern of cover up when abuse was discovered. If you have been following the recent push to end child marriage in the US, you can see how other religions work to cover abuse.
