Reuters) - In an unprecedented move, all of Chile's bishops offered to resign on Friday after attending a crisis meeting this week with Pope Francis about the cover-up of sexual abuse in the South American nation.

Several victims invited by the pope to Rome earlier this month said they wanted all 34 bishops sacked and replaced by more moral candidates, and for the Vatican to extend punishment to others implicated in the scandal.

Then you have the glib smartass Jesuits. A tragedy. There have been great Jesuits and now we have Chaos Frank (a Jesuit) occupying Rome telling us that "God does not exist" apparently because of the Trinity. From "The Pope's Men" to their superior general denying the existence of the devil.

i don't reconcile it. it's abhorrent how the catholic church used the alleged holiness of priests and religious leaders to guilt and psychologically damage its members as a means of power and control. it's abhorrent how this supposedly holy institution became a front for sexual abuse of children.

it's clear to me the catholic church for centuries has been nothing but a scam, and a means for those in power to get away with terrible things without (for a long time) repercussion.

i'm not saying the origin of the religion doesn't have any redeeming aspects, but like with almost any organization, people rise in power to exploit it for personal gain and corruption.

even most aggressive number is 4% generally. the real number is closer to 1% which is still too high.

The research has shown that, in Australia, 7% of priests nationally have been accused of sex abuse. In the Diocese of Sale, it is twice as many, with 15.1%, and there is a whopping 40% of the St John of God order being accused.

if you're a homo pedo there are a limited number of paths you can take to get access to what you need. priesthood was a major one. therefore, priests are going to be WAY more homo pedo, statistically, than the non-priest population.

btw, it's not the only profession where that's true. third world aid work is a pedo racket, eg: https://m.jpost.com/International/UN-staff-allegedly-responsbile-for-over-60000-cases-of-sexual-exploitation-542817
