Once again, the prevalence of pedophiles in the Church is no higher than the general population statistically.

I hear you though. The Church is held to a higher standard and rightfully so. The rate should be 0% pedophiles and predators. I would like to apologize for any harm done to you or anyone else by a Catholic clergy member.

I do know that in the diocese of Houma-Thibodaux that I’m in that there’s a zero-tolerance policy now among active priests, new seminarians are very thoroughly scrutinized and vetted, and there are currently no priests in any ministry that have ever been accused of sexual misconduct.

Deacon Jeff was in Houma.

ETA I think there is a Deacon Jeff in Houma now. I’m pretty sure it’s not the same deacon Jeff that was in Houma 30 years ago.

The fact that we are even having this conversation shows how F’d up the Catholic church is. Their charitable contributions do not make up for destroying kids lives, hiding it, lying about it, all from from the very top.

Now the NGO including the Catholic Church are enticing and recruiting kids from third world countries to come here. All under the guise of humanitarian aid. Nonsense. Most of us know the real reason.

The Catholic Church is an evil organization that will never change. It should be burned to the ground.

I’m a practicing Catholic and disgusted by the way the church has handled its pedophiles. It’s not fair to the good priests and clergy. The fact there someone has to state that there is a zero-tolerance policy for the parish. I mean, isn’t that’s the accepted standard by good people and parents for everything, everywhere? Why even need to state zero tolerance for something so serious touching kids.

that’s not what I asked. Stop avoiding the question. Did the church as an institution help cover sexual abuse? Yes or no? I’m not asking how many actually took part in pedophilia I’m asking who all was involved in covering it up
