Referring to Brady Ryan’s 4/28 opinion piece in the SM Daily Journal, “Keep spotlight on abuses of church”, let me add my own thoughts. This kind of child abuse has been going on for hundreds of years, in many countries around the world. One must wonder if this is a kind of opportunity that attracts sick people to Catholicism, with free access to innocent little defenseless victims?
There have also been stories about kids being spanked and otherwise punished by parents if they complained about what “God’s representatives on Earth” had done to them!
In the more secular Scandinavian countries, Catholicism is almost non-existent, – and for very good reasons, pretty much considered a left-over from medieval superstition.
