"Between 1950 and 2015, 7% of Australian priests were accused of abusing children, according to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Over 40% of brothers in some orders have been accused of abuse."
plus, when it comes to general abuse i imagine some people are quick to claim abuse for next to nothing, especially on that 40% claim. my best guess is this on that 40% figure thing... they probably have more strict discipline and the like and people just don't like it and then claim they where abused. i am not saying all cases are like that as there probably are some legitimate cases and all though but you get the idea.
it's quite likely some of those claims are BS as people probably just want to get some free $$$ etc. i am confident of this. but with that said, i am not denying that abuse happens in the church as it obviously does but it's not a common thing.
It is a common thing for catholic priests to abuse children m-slovak79.
i am not saying it's next to non-existent, and it is a concern(since obviously it needs to be stopped), but to act like it's common is a stretch.
Going back to things you said in your previous reply to me, I can forgive and understand and feel compassion for a pedophile who has twisted, sick, shameful desires but never acts on them because he knows he will hurt and damage human beings if he does. But a pedophile who acts out their depraved desires and hurts an innocent child or a woman is a predator and a psychopath. There can be no forgiveness for a man who molests or rapes a child. Forget "repentence", if, as you said, your God can forgive them then I want no part of your God. There is no forgivenes for a pedophile who acts on his desires. Pedophile priests should be hunted down and terminated with extreme prejudice. Yet the Catholic Church - all the way to the top - covered up their heinous deeds for centuries. You do also know, I hope, that that the Vatican got in to bed with both Mussolini's fascists and the Nazi's. So you should be very, very careful of believing what these c.nts tell you is the truth.
