The reason the protestants don't seem to be molesting as much is because they haven't been found out, yet. If you look at the CoE in recent years, the authorities have begun to unearth child abuse and child killing atrocities on the same lines and scales as was found out in the rcc starting twenty to thirty years ago. They had their own mother and baby homes (where the good looking babies were sold off and the bad looking or cranky ones let die and thrown in a septic tank), their own magdalene launderies and their own mass rapists, but the authorities are only now beginning to pull back the veil of secrecy.
You know the only thing keeping the polite fiction of the vatican being a "sovereign state" is a treaty made in 1929 with a dictator who, after being killed by being hung by his ankles and machine gunned to death, had every other treaty he signed annulled.
Maybe we should do the same with the Lateran treaty and put the church back under the heel of the Italian state.
OK, I studied mathematical physics, and not history, for a living. I think that the RCC should be under the heel of the rest of the world. Case in point, I used to live in Los Angeles. Cardinal Mahoney was accused and proven to have covered up many a priest's sexual abuse of the children in their "care". He's not allowed to celebrate mass. Boo-fucking-hoo. He ought to be in JAIL, as well as all those priests. The LAPD investigated it and didn't follow through on it. I have a friend who is retired from the LAPD. I'll ask him why, next time I see him. He's out of town for a couple more months, so it'll have to wait.
I know why stuff like this wasn't investigated in Ireland, not alone would it be a career ender but to even get a job sweeping streets you'd have to emigrate somewhere where the rcc didn't exist. The goverment of the day were told in 1943 that the rcc run mother and baby home in Bessborough Co Cork (the one where pregnant girls were sentnout tarring roads in labour);/ had a 68% mortality rate by the county's chief medical officer. The doctor's attempt to shut the place down and bring proceedings aggainst those responsible was quickly stopped and his career ruined by John Carles McQuaid having a quiet word in deV's ear.
