I just finished watching The Keeper on Netflix. It is very eye opening on many levels. Women have come along way from the 90's; BS victim blaming by the lawyers on the news was disgusting.

Church is not the problem. There is a bigger problem with the laws and statute of limitations. Watch the show and see who blocks to legislation. They are also criminals in my opinion. The innocent should always be protected.

My dude, who do you think is lobbying Annapolis to not extend the statute of limitations for past abuse? Surprise! It's the catholic church. They want immunity

In terms of sex abuse in the Catholic Church, the peak was in the 1980s, but the rate didn't plummet to near-zero until after the 2002 Dallas Charter reforms. Everything before that more-or-less was the "bad old days" of sex abuse in the Church, and this report serves to confirm that.

Now the struggle is in trying to bring such reforms to public schools, youth athletics, scouting programs, etc. so that those institutions can experience the same sudden dramatic drop in abuse rates. But teachers unions spend a fortune lobbying to prevent that.
