No shit. Did you think it was just the Catholics?
My suspicion is that sexual abuse of children occurs in any organisation in which individuals have power over children. So that means any organised religion, of whatever flavour, as well as in say schools and boarding schools and organisations such as boy scouts.
I have read of such abuses taking place within at least one orthodox Jewish community as well as within the Amish.
I'm willing to bet that the scandals involving the Catholic Church are as a drop in the ocean. That this issue will be with us for the rest of this century, at least. I have reached this conclusion from learning that the abuse seems to be systemic, not isolated cases. Any practice which becomes the norm is exceedingly difficult to change. Especially so when surrounded by deeply entrenched silence and secrecy, where victims are made to feel ashamed, and as if they are the criminals
