old jim //In the UK, we also had paedophile doctors and paedophile teachers, and teachers are still the largest identifiable group in terms of convictions for child abuse.//
Your excuses and trying to involve other professions is a typical RC cop out.
Of course there are paedophiles elsewhere and when caught are convicted,
but your RC lot just shuffle them around to parish after parish , school after school , and as reported often aided and abetted by the nuns .
I will be more impressed When they start handing over the abusers to the police. At the moment they haven't even publised a list of names despite having them for years. They are dealing with it internally and we know what that means.
None of this is new the Popes and the Borgias were masters of perversion '
