"4,450 priests accused of sex abuse"

[heartsurgeon]

"Children accused more than 4,000 priests of sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002, according to a draft survey commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops."

Holy Crap!

linky

how come Dari is asking what we should do with Catholics?

 

[arsbanned]

Yeah, pretty startling numbers for those not aware of how fvcked up the Catholic Church is.
Of course I feel that way about most organized religion.

It seems to be that way for many occupations that have contact with children. Any stats on teachers?

 

[arsbanned]

Occupations? The church is cloaked with the moral and spiritual leadership of humanity, while busily defiling the boy children of the flock! Hardly a day job, no?

Kinda makes you take what the pope has to say on world affairs with a grain of salt, doesn't it? Especially after their silence during the holocaust, leading up to their ridiculous statements about condoms not preventing AIDS and pretty much everything in between. Organized religion is the suck. Too bad people can't figure out a way to be spiritual all by themselves . . .

I'd like to make a note that this is just a Draft and not a final report. For all we know it could be worse. Anyway, how many priests are there? I'd like to know what percentage are molesters.

Whoops, should do more reading. It seems 4%..

I'll bet money the teacher's "stats" are lower.
