If you actually read the reporting, you will find that the vast majority of cases now coming out are from before the mid-1980's. There are a lot of reasons for that, but be aware that it's not just in the last five years that the Church has been approaching these problems differently than in the past. Careful research will show that there are VERY few current cases, and when one does pop up, it is handled much differently than the way ALL sex crimes were handled in the past.<BR/><BR/>In fact, you will find that most cases of clerical abuse of children is now occurring in independent Protestant congregations, where there is less accountability.unknown anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785468942446928824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-72572943963129835992008-06-19T13:15:00.000-07:002008-06-19T13:15:00.000-07:00catthief- my thoughts on the child molestations is...catthief- my thoughts on the child molestations is this- I'm totally horrified that any priest would do such a thing. Predators are going to put themselves in positions of trust to get access to children, and that includes pastors in other churches, teachers, coaches, boy scout leaders, etc. The stories about Catholic priests hit the front page, and the other stories are found buried in the metro section of your newspaper. Thank God Pope Benedict is now addressing this with candidates for priesthood.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188881904597936902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-49984962468015107322008-06-19T11:01:00.000-07:002008-06-19T11:01:00.000-07:00Wow, I went tho the site and read her post. I am ...Wow, I went tho the site and read her post. I am not Catholic and still found it rude and offensive. I'm sorry people feel the need to attack non-Catholics. One thing that I found especially offensive was the part about children being molested. This goes on just as much in Protestant (see I've learned something) organizations as Catholic. I really feel it's just being hidden better but there are many articles out there proving it happens. My question is always the same when I read stuff about Catholics, if you truly believe Catholics are hell-bound why can you not lovingly speak to them instead of the arrogant and rude bashing that you do? That causes no one to want to know you or your god.unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821645159874463634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-37734527095327002008-06-19T09:54:00.000-07:002008-06-19T09:54:00.000-07:00infant baptism - I understood that to be the major...infant baptism - I understood that to be the majority view too<BR/><BR/>believe the catholic holy bible is the true word of God - surely that could be applied to "KJV only-ism"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-26947991400014114452008-06-19T09:40:00.000-07:002008-06-19T09:40:00.000-07:00Very graciously said Kelly:)Very graciously said Kelly:)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038639159416547700noreply@blogger.com
