There is NO DIFFERENCE at all to your way of thinking?
If a public school system is found to be covering up for a teacher who has committed child abuse, would you pronounce all public school employees as evil hypocrites and refuse to send your kids to public schools or be involved with the system at all? Read the following:
( Sexual abuse of minors is not the province of the Catholic Church alone. About 4 percent of priests committed an act of sexual abuse on a minor between 1950 and 2002, according to a study being conducted by John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. That is roughly consistent with data on many similar professions.
An extensive 2007 investigation by the Associated Press showed that sexual abuse of children in U.S. schools was "widespread," and most of it was never reported or punished. And in Portland, Ore., last week, a jury reached a $1.4 million verdict against the Boy Scouts of America in a trial that showed that since the 1920s, Scouts officials kept "perversion files" on suspected abusers but kept them secret.)
Though I admit that it's an unacceptable problem in the church, it's also an unacceptable problem throughout our institutions and families. To single out the catholic or other christian churches is unfair. How abut the other 96% of priests? Are you interested in solving the problem or just condemning christians?
