Did people really think it was only Priests who were abusing children, women and basically everyone?

[rgbecker]

The Pope underestimated his problem just as the press and public is underestimating the current trending turmoil. We won't see the end anytime soon and it will mean billions of dollars in the end.

1. There is a difference

The RCC moved priests around to protect them. Respectable organizations jettisoned their pedophiles.

2. Can you list those "respectable" organizations?

Boy Scouts, Public (edited to change pubic to public-Freudian slip maybe) and private schools that gave predators teachers, couches and band directors a glowing recommendation if they resigned, The same with Main line denominations and especially non-denomination non-aligned independent churches. And then there's the "respectable" military organizations where men in powerful positions preyed on their subordinates. The corporation I worked for many years had an culture where the supervisors and managers had an unwritten right to behave in unseemly ways without any consequences.

So again I ask- What RESPONSIBLE organizations jettisoned their pedophiles? All the ones I know about either protected them in house or moved them on. The former was run by predators themselves and the latter, "just want to limit scandal."

4. Lots of organizations have done that. Not just the RCC.

3. Billy Grahams grand says Evangelicals' sex abuse scandal problem is worse than the Catholic church's

Boz T is a lawyer who worked for FL state prosecuting sex crimes against children. He founded GRACE, a group that helps Evangelical institutions investigate sex abuse problems within their organization.

When Bob Jones U faced charges of mishandling problems, they called in GRACE. However the U fired them when that group uncovered too much. After a massive push-back from students and alums, the U brought them back in.
