FYI, Catholics: The Pope wants you to report clerical sexual abuse to the church, not the police.
So that's where things stand.
530 victims is too many, am I right guys?
Way more than it should be, but feels suspiciously low given the scale of their operation and the problem.
Agreed, I was prepared for the amount to be large enough that it came out to like $10 a person.
Prison time? Hello? Any of these religious tax exempt child rapists going to prison??
I'm Glad that my Republican Governor is trying to put Organizations that Pay out over $350MILLION to their Sex Abuse Survivors in Children's Schools!
Not even a tithe.
Bleed them dry, the pious hypocrites. Fuck the Catholic Church.
That’s like $1 per person.
$323m to about 530 sex abuse survivors
Come on man you don't even need to click through to the article.
Im saying they have raped a lot more than 530
This is one specific to Long Island, not the entire Catholic Church.
Cool
$323,000,000/530
They raped a lot more than 530 kids.
Edit: this situation is fucked so it helps me to laugh but I'll remove my comment because kids were victimized and that sucks
That's actually like $600,000 per person
323 000 000 / 523 = 617 590.82
The Catholic Church has fucked a lot more than 523 kids. Stop defending them.
I'm not defending them, religion is a cancer on developed societies. They should be banished or taxed
