  23. ​ @FiatVoluntasTuaAmen  "No sorry I think you are wrong about that." Could you please point out specifically what you think I'm wrong about? "You won't know this.........." What makes you think I don't know? Yes, most of the cases are historical, due to the fact that they have been mounting up over countless years, so, statistically, the past holds far greater numbers of criminal abuse than more recent or current ones. However, even if (and that's a big "if") the Catholic church has taken steps to curb such disgusting behaviour by the priests, it hasn't stopped it from continuing to happen. Not at all. Being "EXTREMELY strict about this" doesn't change or prevent some priests from still committing those abhorrent crimes towards children, and the Vatican is in denial if it claims otherwise. As the saying goes, "Rules are made to be broken", and they are just mere words, especially to those who have no respect for them in the first place. Action speaks louder than words, and that is something which the Vatican is not in the least bit willing to do, nor even admit. Whenever a priest gets found out, they're usually just given a slap on the wrist (behind closed doors), and told to do penance by saying the "Hail Mary" a hundred times more. Being "forgiven for your sins" doesn't change anything, nor does it take away the damage that's already been done. However biased one may feel towards the Catholic church, one needs to remove that before being able to see through the fake veneer of decency and respectability which is hiding a truth which they don't want to admit exists. Stay well, wherever you are.
