Take on the pervert priests

When I was a kid, it was sort of a joke that you shouldn't find yourself alone with a priests as you may get molested but never could I have imagined how rampant a problem it really was. What is shocking is that if a non religious kid in New Jersey, knew that this was an issue, while the Vatican ignored -or worse yet- abetted it.

I wonder if there is anybody keeping track how many of these pervert priests have come through the diocese but I have to imagine the number is infinitely larger than anybody in the greater public ever guessed. Today, Illinois announced 500 more than they had previously disclosed, I'm not sure how many total Illinois priests that makes but how many total priests are there in a state like Illinois anyway??

What is crazy to me is that the priesthood was apparently attracting a certain type at a much higher rate than any other profession. If you ran a business and you had four consecutive candidate who stole from you, you'd likely change your recruiting company. It the Catholic Church gave the equivalent of that recruiting agent a raise. What is maddening is that although I was aware of it as a problem the Catholic Church didn't try to rectify this by weeding their candidates in their recruiting system but instead decided to double down and basically place an ad in the Village Voice for perverts. They also turned a blind eye or covered up countless molestations and if other rape and assault statistics hold true here, there are likely tenfold the total amount so far reported.

Think about Illinois, I bet you couldn't find this many kid touchers in a city of 8 million people but you'd be hard pressed to not run into one the second you walk into a church.
