McHenry County References in Attorney General’s Report on Catholic Clergy Sex Abuse – Part 4 — 12 Comments

  1. Since that Clergy thing hasn’t worked out, that name should get him a spot in the Adult Film Industry.

  2. The Deep State dictates news.

    It’s now unavoidable even in conservative circles.

    I guess we all have to get used to the new normal.

  3. “The Deep State dictates news. It’s now unavoidable even in conservative circles.”

    Huh?

    Child molesters evil, but reporting on Catholic priests molesting children is also evil?

  4. Rates of molestation of kids by public school teachers is now 200-500 times clergy.

    Report rates in the news and by the “Attorney General” is overwhelmingly biased.

    Why?

    I stand by my statement.

  5. Indoctrination, molestation and abortion are the DEMOCRATS weapons of attack against families and children.
    Nobody hates like the DEMOCRATS – absolutely NOBODY.

  6. A currently accepted differential between priests and teachers, generally is running at 150% in favor towards teachers now.

    Of note though, is that positively-trending record encompasses a massive drop in reported offenses by priests since 2002, suggesting that the Church might actually have made tremendous progress.

    It further suggests then that the public institutions need to step up as well. As a whole, clergy, ministers, coaches, scout leaders, and teachers generally offend pretty much at the same rates. It’s just that most people (myself included) find clergy offenses especially appalling.

    All the same, comparisons to others’ transgressions in defense or mitigation of one’s own sins is juvenile.

  7. CLM. Why waste your time? Trying to explain deep state or anything else to a dope addled fool is a waste of keystrokes.

  8. Yep, this is all on the deep state. If not for “they” and “them”, we’d be in Eden.

  9. So, CLM thinks news reports about sexual abuse at churches is something brand new and exclusive to the post-COVID world, and that people should not be able to report on it because other places also employ child molesters whataboutism

    “Rates of molestation of kids by public school teachers is now 200-500 times clergy.”

    Present evidence of your claim.

    I hate public schools but prefer to not make things up.

    The number you mentioned sounds numerically impossible given the enormous extent of abuse within the church.

    For example, if 1/1000 priests were bad, 500 x the rate for teachers would be 1/2.

    If 1/100 priests were bad, you couldn’t have 200 x as many because it maxes out at 100 percent.

    I think you are making things up…

  10. Since these horrible despicable events happened nearly forty years ago :what does that have to do with now ?

    Things have changed dramatically and I see no reason to keep rehashing painful events for both parties .

    It doesn’t change who I am as a Catso not sure what you are trying to prove .
