I think I have figured out where Sam got that from, its another talking point put out by the right wing blogosphere. When I did a search on his phrasing, the one that was first was newsmax, followed by a number of very right wing blogs. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 2:35 PM, Sam wrote: > > Isn't sexua

My point is if it happens in a school the press won't cover it and there's no need for a cover-up. Unless of course it's a young buy with woman teacher, then it makes the news. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 2:45 PM, Larry C. Lyons wrote: > > I do not get your reasoning here, what has sex abuse rates b

come on now asking Sam to produce supporting data. You ought to know better - asking that makes you a hater Actually I doubt that there is such a comparison out there. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 2:42 PM, Medic wrote: > >> Isn't sexual abuse by teachers much higher than by priests? > > link? > > >

just do a google news search, you'll see that there are multiple accounts daily of ministers, pastors and other protestant denomination clerics who have been caught sexually abusing kids, mostly within the fundimentalist wing of the various Christian churches. I suspect that its at a higher rate t

I do not get your reasoning here, what has sex abuse rates by teachers have anything to do with the active coverup by the Catholic church in response to priests who have sexually abused children. You're making a false comparison here. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 2:35 PM, Sam wrote: > > Isn't sexual

Isn't sexual abuse by teachers much higher than by priests? Schools don't even get reported while churches across America are shutting down. While the abuse and the cover-ups are wrong and should be punished severely, I don't think putting Christianity out of business is a solution. On Mon, Apr

The Church's response to this entire thing has been atrocious. In my experience: Catholic's are terrific, Catholic churches are terrificbut The Catholic Church (capital C's) is downright awful. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 1:17 PM, Jerry Johnson wrote: > > So, they are looking to pass a bill in
