There are many abuse victims who end up homeless. Catholic parents often throw their kids out after an accusation of csc against a priest. After you spend time with speaking with them about how the church aggressively discredits and accuser, you realize how horrible that particular organization is.

I even had to block a priest from persistently trying to enter the shelter where some of his accusers were staying. Once the county prosecutor got involved, the priest disappeared from town.

It's a pretty worthy hill to die on.

I lost my faith years ago, but I was raised in the Catholic Church. Not once did any Priest attempt anything improper with me.

Be grateful. Assault is often the cause of substance addiction.

Be grateful that you don't have a significant other or family member who was abused by a priest as a child.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

What about the vast majority of abuse victims abused by people other than Catholic priests? Are those cases somehow not as serious?

Children continue to be sexually abused by teachers and classmates on a daily basis in public schools across America. But not a word about that.

While I believe abuse spans across all communities, the horrible aspect of the Catholic Church is how they used intimidation to block prosecutors, law enforcement and anyone from pursuing these horrific crimes. If it wasn't for The Boston Globe, it would be continuing way today. The fact that it's an institution charged with spreading the word makes this extraordinarily despicable.

Some Christian Nation types was to weaken the CSC laws.

I don't know anybody who was abused by a priest - TT, MH, and RT have all said the same.

You aren't aware of abuse victims. Chance are you know someone. Most people keep it a secret, that's why it went on for so long.

It's much more likely we know someone who was abused at the hands of a public school employee. But because it is government run, it gets swept under the rug.

Anywhere anybody abuses their power they try their best to sweep it under the rug. Public schools and the Catholic Church are not special.

Agreed. Both have had a terrible history with it. Certain institutions are eventually held responsible, while unfortunately others are not and the abuse continues daily.

Actually it all happens about the same. Anywhere you have humans involved you’re gonna have abuses.
