Speaking on the second day of the World Meeting of Families, Martin said the number of prosecutions of clerical abuse is “very low”. Without being a maths wizard, 'immense vs verylow' - equates to something being 'not quite right' with the church, either now or in the past. Here, there, and everywhere.

Auguste Comte wrote: » Where did you get the 10,000 figure from? I don't believe it's correct. It still wouldn't explain why the Catholic church management hid dangerous criminals and enabled them to continue to commit some of the most heinous crimes against children even when they became aware of their crimes.

I have no real issue with this visit, I do have an issue to a degree however with vast amounts of public money being used.

It would highlight how many are actually living here and aren’t just going for the show as people love to be able to say they were at a gig. Another one on the way out asking if they applauded the pope. This would highlight how many think that the CEO is doing a great job whilst protecting child abusers. If people were honest it would be your truth. However, from experience, those with religion are usually the least honest and Christian acting.

So that's approx 3,880 men which is a long way away from 10,000. Source - Irish Penal Reform Trust You're talking through your hoop to be honest.

Fighting Tao wrote: » Is that an attempt at a joke? If so it’s horrendous. While I’m not a fan of Mannix as a politician, he was telling what happened him while he was in industrial school. The rape that occurred, how anyone that reported the abuse got raped even more to teach them a lesson, how he lost friends to suicide because of it, and how it affected his family life with his mother who remained a person of faith. If you think that’s funny then you are seriously fcuked up in the head.
