re: There is a reason young men are rejecting the Church and following guys like Andrew Tate

Eh not really. The church DOES cover for child abuse and their reputation is well established.

Clergy aren’t even legally mandatory reporters of abuse (unlike coaches, teachers, counselors, and any other professional) in like 33 states. Given the churches horrendous track record of dealing with said information, this is totally abusive and unacceptable.

And every time policy is put in place to change that it’s the Christian (catholic specifically) Republicans doing everything in their power to stop it.

How is that still okay with anyone? It’s gross, frankly.
