Has s*x abuse always been a secret Catholic tradition ?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_sex_abuse_cases_by_country

Answer 1

Hello,

No, I was an altar boy for 10 years and never saw or heard of it. Any s*x outside marriage was taught to be a serious sin just as it was in all other Christian denominations. As for abusing children, on numerous occasions we heard the bible passage that said it was better to tie a mill stone around a child's neck and cast them into the sea rather than teach them scandals and evil things.

That said you cannot expect that out of 1.12 billion people that 99.999% are going to be nice, saintly, virtuous or free from carnal lusts.

It's like the Newfoundlander saying, Lard Tundering Jesus baws!

There was tousans of seals on dem der iceflows; I counted at least 3!

Answer 2

Ain't just Catholics bub.

Answer 3

WOW!!! That List is ridiculously long!!!!!

Yet I'm not thattttt suprised.....

Answer 4

Actually the protestant statistics are worse.

And yet better than the statistics for parental abuse and homosexual abuse that is about 3x more prevalent than the rest combined.

Oh sure, only show us the catholic ones, don't show us any of the other statistics collected by the various government agencies interested in correctly quantifying and dealing with it.

Yeah, lets all pretend its the catholics and show only THOSE statistics and not tell anyone at all that your statistically safer as a catholic than as anyone else.

Shhh... our little secret, pinky shake...

Answer 5

Not just the Catholics. Anyone in a position of power.

Answer 6

No! Its just that these Bstds manage to infiltrate organisations where they can hide easiest and also prey on the innocent and trusting in society. How many school janitors have been found out as peadophiles and how many childrens homes have been rotten with them? Its anywhere they can lurk and do their evil!

Answer 7

I believe it doesn't have anything to do with a particular religion its mostly people in a position of power dealing with vulnerable kids or adults. If they are that way inclined they will do it given the chance but fortunately not all people are like that.  

Answer 8

Of course not, here, in Indonesia, imam and quran teacher dominated the sexual abuse cases.

So, are we seeing the pattern here?
