Firstly, to be fair to churches, they weren't the only institution involved with the sexual abuse of kids. The Boy Scouts of America, schools and various sports teams have had scandalous stories come out regarding abuse of kids. The shocking part of these stories was not so much the stories themselves, but how many of the adults were allowed to continue with the organizations after being accused. In many cases, the stories were swept under the carpet. I'm sure most of us realize that screening can only do so much to weed some pedos out.
The sexual abuse involved straight and gay sex. Here's what gets me though:
- I these churches are so set against gay sex, why didn't these churches punish the nuns and priests for not only having sex with someone of the same gender, but a minor under their care to boot?
- In the case of the priests having sex with underage females (and nuns with underage males), what was done when some of these cases that resulted in pregnancies? I'm sure a coat hanger and quiet burial in an undisclosed location was the answer.
Food for thought.
