July 23, 2020
Every few months, we at Horowitz Law see or hear a line like this and practically moan with disgust:
“The Catholic Church has dealt with decades of scandal as investigations have found hundreds of priests across the globe who sexually abused minors. . .”
This inaccurate and minimizing line appeared in the Denver Post. But sadly, many reporters have written similar sentences.
As you might have guessed, it’s the word ‘hundreds’ that gets our goat. That’s nowhere close to accurate.
Hundreds of Catholic priests have been accused of abuse in several countries, including:
– Ireland
*
Hundreds of Catholic priests have been accused of abusing in several US states, including
– New York
– Texas
