Tell me where I'm wrong.....PLEASE!! Tell me where religion (and you know I'm thinking Christianity) owns ANY more of the CSA responsibility than ANY OTHER CATERGORY The Leaders of the Catholic Church own much responsibility for the cover up and thus contiuation of alot of CSA. Stop Rob, just read my next para first  I know this doesn't amount to all Christian's but I have been screamed at for saying such a thing. I think that SOME Christian's are to connected at the hip to the organization. Oh and by the way Rob, I agree 100% with the quoted statement, but sometimes it feels like people are calling me stupid by actually thinking I'm that ignorant that I think they represent what Christianity really is all about. The Organization NEEDS to be denounced Rob. That doesn't mean I think you do. Stay strong Mike

Rob, you said a mouthful. If I know that the school systems "leaders" are hiding/protecting perps then god yes, it needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Same with the church. But what I will never say is that it shouldn't be rebuilt.
And if the highest people in the U.S of A feel they need to defend/hide/protect pedophiles then yes it needs to be denounced, brought down and rebuilt so that it can be what it was originally intended to stand for.
Corruption needs to be removed Rob, extremley if necessary.

Agreed! Now... MY perps were arrogant star jocks. Let's tear down the institution of organized sports in North America (not letting Canada off the hook this time). We'll get rid of arrogant little gladiators and their enabling coaches. Why not? Is MY CSA any less horrible than the guys who got perped by priests? Dont I deserve justive too. Dang it! Tear down the NFL!!!! OK...Now, given all that....once we've torn down the institutions and all the pedophiles are free-agents, does the rate of CSA go down at all? I THINK not. I THINK that this planet has a certain number of perps and they will perp regardless of what category/club/organizatio/school/etc they belong to. Someone capable of CSA is going to commit CSA. They are fkd in the head no matter what their nametag or T-shirt says. (offered as an intellectual debate...not personal with my pals  )

not letting Canada off the hook this time Love it  I guess what I'm trying to say is, YES tear it ALL down if "IF" the highest leadership is of the Org is covering it up. If the loser coach had of been reported to the highest body of organized sports and they moved him to another school, then yes, tear it down and rebuild. I think that coach would have been removed at the very least and been charged ideally. The church is the only place it was brought to the attention of the highest body and allowed to continue. Same with the USA, brought to the attention of the highest body it was cut out like the cancer it was. Who's higher than the pope? No one, if God was asked, would he have said "just bury it and transfer them to somewhere else". They didn't live up to the ideal's of their organization, organized sport passed the test, the US of A passed the test. The Catholic church did not, therefore TEAR IT DOWN, rebuild and get what you fucking stand for right. Bush.....yipes god forbid you have me defending the guy, would not have covered it up and moved them so they could re-offend, the church did. Mike

Rob I love your rant. I agree 100%. Why pick one or two catagory's or institutions. Let's shove the whole kit and kabootle out the door, innocents and guilty alike. look bigotry is bigotry no matter whose face it is on.

Man! As a recovering Catholic, current atheist, former public school educator, sexual abuse survivor (my perp WANTED to be a jock, but he sucked at sports!) and fellow North American - I gotta chime in!
I get the point that it does come down to the perp - and he/she will act regardless of an affiliation with an institution, but I gotta say I agree with Mike that there is a big problem with institutions protecting their own - with no system of accountability - our society has a problem with entitlement that spans all groups... religious, governmental, medical, social - any organization that puts its interests before basic human rights should be held accountable.... how? No clue - but I know public exposure in a NON SENSATIONAL arena (ie: NOT Fox/CNN) will raise awareness - knowledge is power and its a start.
Just my 2 cents.
Dan
