AZPaul3 was slandering 1.147 BILLION people.
No, it's not "slander" when it's true.
The problem is this:
- Incidents have taken place in numerous countries on multiple contenents. This is world-wide problem in your church.
- Incidents have been occurring for many decades.
- The only reason these surface is when the victims lose their fear of the church and come forward, by the dozens.
- In every case I can recall the church hierarchy, all the way to Rome, sought to cover up the incidents, move the priests to other locations and circumvent local authority.
In any other organization this would be considered a systemic problem with the organization as a whole.
And so it is for your church.
You are a catholic. Whether you care to acknowledge it or not this "systemic" problem that has plagued your church for generations is a reflection on you.
You need to face this.
You need to stop this. God knows your church leaders are not going to.
