The numbers aren't so shocking when compared to the general population. But of course, people love to ommit statistics when they have an agenda.

There may be hope for you. The rest will go to jail and burn in Hell.
Clean yourself up and do some service for the church to show that you are serious.

I never did the alter boy thing

My mother wasnt one of those pushy parents about religon so I was lucky.

One needs no robes other than to inflitrate the filthy underbelly of the beast of this immoral group. This country will return back to decent and moral God fearing people that founded it.

Spend your money now pornographers, on fancy cars, overseas trips, expensive beverages, cosmetic enhancements for your wives and concubines.

Your manner of living is crumbling. Visa is only the warning shot.

Priests should be held to a higher standard in the same way that others in positions of trust and responsibility in the community are.

They should be held to a higher standard than a child's own parents? In cases of child abuse, the majority of the perps are the one of the child's parents, and it's usually the father.

I can't think of anyone that should be held to a higher standard than a parent when it comes to a child.

All i'm saying is that the statistics, as disgusting as they are, paint a picture about the catholic church when you ommit other statistics that people aren't familiar with. Child abuse is all too common, whether it's in a church or at home. The numbers are just as disturbing across the board.

Just wondering if you have a link to some statistics on child sexual abuse. You must be working off some figures.

I've had a bit of a look around the web and haven't found anything substantial.

http://www.prevent-abuse-now.com/stats.htm...m#Substantiated

The information is available on official .gov sites as well, but it's been a while since i actually went looking for it, and it's surprisingly difficult to find the information. But basically, 1.5 percent of children up to the age of 3 are sexually abused, according to that site, which quotes . In these cases, the offender is usually a parent.

And these are obviously situations where the perp has to be caught in the act, or a doctor has to notice signs of abuse or something, 'cause obviously the victim can't talk about it, so nobody really knows just how many children up to the age of 3 have been abused.

I've seen other surveys of girls in high school, that had results showing 1 in 5 girls had been sexually abused at some stage in their life. Says something about the number of unreported cases of child abuse. I think it was 1 in 8 for boys.

But the only official statistics i can find right now are for actual reported cases of child abuse, and they show at least 1.5% of chlidren are abused.
