>And those groups still have lower rates of abuse than Schools

Is that in absolute terms, or per child who frequents the establishment?

And those groups still have lower rates of abuse than Schools

What evidence do you have of this? The only sources I can find that would even vaguely support your claim switch to talking about physical abuse in schools, or sexual assault committed by fellow students.

To be clear, we're discussing the sexual assault of children by adults here. We're not talking about physical abuse, nor are we talking about assault by fellow students.

reply
Does the school work to cover it up to the same extent? Are people across the school in on it? Are the rates of abuse higher on a per capita basis?

Why are you making apologies for (Catholic) church sex abuse? Because you are a member and you took a training? Yikes.

reply
Where did you see apologies?

I read it basically as “schools are even worse than churches and scouts yet are overlooked,” nothing apologizing for the churches.

reply
"demonization" of the church?

Ironic phrasing, given the Catholic Church wants authority to decide what is demonic while acting like demons. Why is the comment so plainly aggrieved? Is the Catholic Church a victim here?

Even as your sanitized claim, where is the evidence?

It doesn't exist.

HN is very anti-religion. It turns off their brain when they see it and leads to these kinds of responses.
