Your "experience and study" is clearly of the bigotted anti-Catholic variety. This is evident in your stupid insults.
Here, you claim to have been in the RCIA program, and the first thing a priests asks a potential convert is WHY they want to become Catholic. No priest in his right mind would allow a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Catholic bigot to be part of a faith building milieu. Name the priest and the parish where you say you were "expected to know" OR STOP LYING.
Another LIE. The Church encourages us to vote for candidates who uphold moral laws, but never tells us who we must vote for. Cite any source where the priest tells people how to vote OR STOP LYING. This is just hate speech. Sex abuse is a serious sin, not church policy. You are so full of hate you can't tell the difference.
A non-sequitur fallacy. First, that was 50 years ago. Second, every institution
at that time did the same thing. Third, enabling bishops
at that time followed the advice of psychologists who oversold their "therapy" and shifting them was part of it. They were appointed and accountable to the courts but nobody ever mentions that. Are the victims parents deaf and dumb? Some bishops at that time didn't know how else to handle the problem,
they just did what everybody else did at that time, and we now know it was wrong. Now, priests and bishops are obligated, by Vatican directives, to call the cops, but you don't care about that.
Bad priests are dead, in jail or thrown out of ministry. Enabling bishops have long since been corrected/disciplined, but you don't care about that either.
You don't know much about teenagers. Normal teenagers would punch the priest in the mouth and rightly so. Homosexual teenagers would not. 80% of all cases did not involve children, teenagers are not children. The bulk of the scandals was homosexuality, not pedophilia. Are you covering up for homosexuals by majoring in the minors?
Scandal I was the worst crisis in the history of the Church. Yes, it happened.
Scandal II is perpetuating the myth, along with secular media, that nothing has been done about it. I have proven that Catholicism is not a cult, and you respond by playing the ever so popular, worn out, sex abuse card.
There is a "report abuse" button on the main page of many diocese, if not all. Does your church have one? Or does it even have a web page? Or do you even have a church?

Pope renews commission on sexual abuse, Vatican promises victims more say
Then there is the HUGE problem of sex abuse by public school teachers who are protected by their unions. No outrage there. The identity of abusers is more important than kids, right marksman?
