Just wondering, today there is growing (and has been for a few decades) public awareness, outrage, and even legislative initiatives to enhance penalties, increase or even make possible for victims to sue for damages, a decrease in the RCC practice of just shuffling around the problem priests, the church having to pay billions in damages and even a few meager steps within the church to recognize the problem and address it with some measures,
so,
in the past, were there ANY constraints at all on the numbers of children victimized ?? Was the limiting factor on the number of children sexually abused equal to the number of children there were ??
Do we infer at some time, nearly all Catholic (and presumably as many protestant as could be rounded up) children were abused? The RCC archives contain instances of sexual abuse of children going back 1500 years, so the pattern was established, and in 15 centuries, apparently just considered a given ?
With literally nothing at all to stop them, what else could have happened ?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
