Reply to comment by subzero112001 in Defrocked Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy still runs charity for kids by kangarooturd

I'm saying it happened ALL the time, which is why the Church paid out millions. The Church should stay the hell out of it. They don't have the ability to investigate, but they did, and then they did the priest. Are you unaware of history? Did you miss the list of payouts the church did for this?

Here is over a decade of payout after payout, over a billion dollars:

Here's a list of priests hidden by the church:

Is due to morons not doing anything right. It has nothing to do with the church. Because the church does not convict criminals. How many times do I have to say that????

>The Church should stay the hell out of it.

If you mean they should stay out of law enforcement, I agree. Because thats what the legal system is for.

>Here is over a decade of payout after payout, over a billion dollars:

And that averages about 8 victims a year. 8 victims out of.... 463,634 per year.

The church has ~ 8. Out of 463,634.

Now of course is anything over 0 bad? Absolutely. But you're acting like the church has a monopoly on it. And it's quite obvious that 8 out of 463,634 is nowhere near being a large portion,the main culprit, or even moderately responsible for the majority of those acts.
