The statistics are revealing don’t you think?
Child sexual abuse occurs across all religious denominations, not just the Catholic Church, with studies indicating high rates in Protestant congregations and organizations like Jehovah's Witnesses.
A 2002 report highlighted that many offenders in Protestant churches are volunteers, and a John Jay Report identified 4,392 Catholic clergy accused of abuse in the U.S..
Key Findings:
Protestant/Other Denominations: A 2002 Christian Ministry Resources report noted that Protestant congregations had more allegations of child sexual abuse, with most offenders being volunteers, not clergy.
Jehovah's Witnesses: Data from Australia's Royal Commission showed significantly higher allegation rates in Jehovah's Witness congregations compared to the Catholic or Uniting churches.
Catholic Church (U.S.): The John Jay Report documented allegations against 4,392 Catholic priests and deacons in the U.S..
Victim Demographics: According to the John Jay report, 81% of reported victims were male.
Patterns of Abuse: Studies suggest that religious institutions, similar to medical ones, have historically handled abuse internally, often failing to report allegations to civil authorities.
Reporting: Cases of abuse and allegations have increased worldwide.
A statistical summary suggested of all the abuse cases by so called Christian churches, twelve per cent of the cases were perpetrated by Catholic priests. The other EIGHTY EIGHT per cent were by other churches including the Anglican/Presbyterian Church, the Lutheran Churches, the Orthodox Church and the innumerable Protestant denominations that have split off into so many groups including the Born Again movement that originated in the United States, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Latter Day Saints churches. EiGHTY EIGHT PER CENT, but yet the Catholic Church gets all the press!
Catholic priests who abuse and until recently were moved by bishops to different parishes but despite their attestation that they are changed and contrite but repeat their horrors are not just monsters they are betrayers of the Christ and his Church family on Earth, and satanic in their evil.
