Reply to comment by jojammin in Baltimore judge orders release of redacted investigation into Archdiocese of Baltimore sex abuse by PleaseBmoreCharming

>For those still a member of the catholic church, why?

I have no responsibility for what a bunch of free-love hippy priests did decades before I was born.

As a public school survivor, I am more concerned with the ongoing public school sex abuse scandals, which are 100 times as widespread as the Catholic Church sex abuse scandals of the twentieth century. There are sickening parallels between the decades-old abuse cases in the article and the ongoing abuse still happening in public schools today.

There absolutely is widespread abuse in the public school system. There is also widespread abuse in the Catholic church. It's a little silly to blame it on hippies and free love but ok.

I'd argue that public school systems, when alerted to abuse, try to do the right thing. The Catholic church covers it up.
