That not 500 kids, or 500 incidents. That's five hundred priests who served decades each with access to 10,000 kids that they abused a million times.
The Catholic Church of Illinois just admitted that it has protected 500 different priests accused of sexual violence. 500.https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/19/us/illinois-catholic-church-abuse-allegations/index.html …

This isn’t a “failure to disclose.” This isn’t just “obstruction.” It’s conspiracy plain and simple, by the whole organization. If any other institution did this they’d be shut down, liquidated of all their assets and their teachings debunked and ridiculed.

It's organized crime of the most foul nature.

I was sexually abused and trafficked in the Quaker church, and have met many others who were too. You get to the point that you have to ask yourself if sexual abuse is fundamental to the denomination itself. 500 priests is not "a few bad apples" as most say in such circumstances.

I'm sorry that's horrible. I think any time you put an authority in a place where he or she acts with the force of divinity you get abuse of power. I see reports in the neo-pagan and occult communities, too.

Quakers don't have any central authority though. They claim to be all about egalitarianism. When I was a kid, a lot of them were hippies, lived on communes, all that. Nobody has yet studied the rampant sexual abuse of kids in the hippie movement. It was everywhere.

That I did not know. :(

Most don't. I don't know why this problem hasn't been studied. Virtually every woman I know who was raised by hippies was sexually abused, almost always in the guise of "free love." http://www.sublimemercies.com/2015/05/great-gams-women-folk-singers-and.html …

What the huh? That is ridiculous, of course he knows it’s a bloody crime!!!!

I don't understand why no one in the room stood up and punched him in the face. I am by no means an advocate for resolving things with violence, but sometimes it just goes too far...

That is the bane of professionalism unfortunately but it is sickening to hear!
