Nobody seems to randomly bring up sexual abuse (and the various cover ups) of public school teachers when schools are brought up. When is the last time you saw a thread about Catholicism where it isn't brought up? The post has literally nothing to do with abuse and yet it is brought up for no reason other than to attack the Church.
If somebody did this with schools they would be down voted and told it is unrelated to the topic.

When someone is breaking the site guidelines 16 times in a single thread, I can't post 16 responses, nor would readers want me to.

This is not a small problem. It’s a chronic structural problem. Frankly it’s so entrenched and fundamental it rots the institution to the core.
I’m frankly surprised any right thinking human being can call themselves a Catholic with a straight face.
