Damned Pervert Priests - and other assorted Holy Scumbags

(June 13, 2022 at 2:39 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: 5,700 Acts Of Sexual Abuse Committed By German Catholic Priests

Berlin: At least 600 young people were documented as having been abused by Catholic priests in the German diocese of Muenster, but the actual number of victims could be 10 times higher, a report published Monday said.

At least 5,700 individual acts of sexual abuse had been committed by a total of 196 clergymen, including 183 priests, according to the report.

Five percent of the clergymen involved were found to be serial offenders with more than 10 victims, and less than 10 percent had faced any legal consequences.

At the peak of the abuse during the 1960s and 1970s, there were on average two cases per week in the diocese, the report said.

Three in four victims were boys, the majority between 10 and 14 years old, with many of the acts committed against altar boys or at children's and youth camps.

The study reported considerable psychological consequences for the victims reaching into adulthood, including depression and suicidal thoughts, with indications of attempted suicide in 27 cases.

I knew a (now-deceased) guy from another message board who had been abused by priests. It's a terrible thing, and the consequences are lifelong. He was in his 70s and was still affected by it.
