My Atheist Life
I asked a simple question of my readers. The response was about what I had thought it would be.
“Can someone please show me a case in the last few months of child sexual abuse / assault that does not involve a priest, pastor, or some religion related individual?”
When I tried to get some actual numbers myself I found some interesting statistics.
Information on Catholic sex abuse cases is about what you think it would be but with some surprise conclusions if you’ll allow some lateral thinking.
* Apparently the Catholic clergy are not the only religious organization to fail to stop sex abuse by their employees
*Catholicism does not decrease the incidence of sex abuse among its adherents
*There are a lot of theories as to why sex abuse is so high among the Catholic clergy
*The Catholic church has hidden sex abuse cases all over the planet
