Meh. Doubt it. The priests do the rape, congregation claps them on. May as well simply assume anyone of the catholic faith rapes children. Easier than being nice to them.
Just like all Muslims beat their wives and all Jews care about is money? Grow up dude, stereotyping the average Joe is gross. It's fine to mock establishments but regular people are mostly well meaning idiots.
"Just like all Muslims beat their wives and all Jews care about is money?"
Wow, Islamophobia and anti-semitism. You're a real treat, aintcha?
I'm not surprised you fail to see how my examples relate to what you said.
Said the anti-semite islamaphobe.
I'm an equal opportunity hater, including catholics. That's why we don't need to insult every member of each religious group, just the groups in general. Hope you learned something today about hate, and how it's only okay if we hate everyone equally :)
Well, maybe tone down your racism and maybe I'll agree with you.
Maybe go fuck yourself.
Aww. Baby racist mad? Want a Binky?
I thought you were being fecetious, but I guess you're serious? If I'm racist for making a comparison to what you said, what does that make you? Your statement about all catholics being pedophiles is the exact same thing lmao. Are you dumb or just stupid?
You're the one trying to compare races with religion. If you want to go to bat for pedophiles while also actively spouting racist nonsense, be my guest kid.
That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard. Muslim catholicism and Judaism are religions. Yes there are some Jewish races but if you fail to understand my point due to your myopia about hur dur racism then great, this has been the least productive conversation of my life.
Muslim catholicism? The fuck are you even on about? Not even worth reading the rest of the drivel.
Are you retarded? Obviously I just missed a comma, lmfao.
Edit: I'm retarded lmao I meant Islam.
More drivel.
Teachers molest and rape children at a higher rate than Catholic priests. I am not sure why we seem to focus on the Catholic religion for this and ignore where it is now common. It better said, why not focus on both?
Sources?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/has-media-ignored-sex-abuse-in-school/
According to this source and a few I have seen, sexual abuse is not a little but significantly higher.
Yikes what a poorly written article. The author doesn't understand basic rationality.
Yes because the number of teachers and students is magnitudes larger than the number of Catholic children and priests. There's a lack of proportionality here.
Lol that is very dumb. We aren't comparing Catholic schools, we are comparing the rate of abuse in Catholicism as a whole compared to the school system, and even then it should be scaled to the size of the populations.
Classic example of "don't take everything you read on face value". Citing big numbers sounds clever but it easily hides a lack of statistical understanding.
I'm open to a source that is mathematically and statistically sound, but this ain't it.
I doubt the teacher's union has the resources of the church. Nor do they have the time-tested global systematic approach to abusing children, unless common core gotcha mad.
