<< I agree except on the Catholic thing, yes there has been abuse but where I

think the Catholic Church made a mistake is to refer their situation to

psychiatrists and go along with recommendations by psychiatrists, I've seen it

over and over in the press. There's more to it than that of course but that is a

main factor.

Also no one group sexually abuses their " flock " more than psychiatrists. WAY

more than the Catholic Church and really the profession of psychiatry has the

same moral obligation and position of power over their patients. Especially if

they are drugging them which the Catholic Church is not in the business of

doing.>>

** Jim, my reference to barring Catholics is about the insanity of holding

everyone responsible for the actions of some.

But, I do have to question your statement " also no one group sexually abuses

their " flock " more than psychiatrists " . Are you familiar with the numbers? I

am. There have been nowhere near as many psychiatrists by profession as there

have been priests over the years.

Hi ,

Thanks for clarifying! I honestly never thought you meant all

Catholics were bad at all.

I could be wrong, I would love to see some statistics if you have

them.

It's an ugly thing all around for sure, abusing children is most

reprehensible.

Best,

Jim
