    They are the butt of the jokes but others are just as guilty of abuse both sexual, physical, and mental.

    Muslim Imams rape young boys. Christian youth pastors sexually assault children in their charge. In my opinion the only difference is that Catholics have designed a worldwide network to move abusers around, knowing they would assault and rape again.

      This is the reason Could Catholics get singled out. They actively work against efforts to punish the abusers or correct the behavior. When youth pastors are caught, there are repercussions.

        Protestants aren’t better in this respect. If they had the infrastructure they would also move abusers around to protect them. If the only reason someone doesn’t commit mass murder is a lack of means, that doesn’t make them a moral person, it makes them immoral and thankfully incapable.

        I call bs. I’ve read plenty of articles that offenders repented so were welcomed back to the same church, often in the same capacity.
