There would be outrage in the community if the media spoke about youth violence only with reference to black youth. And with justice. But it seems not to disturb a hair on the head of any of the world's intrepid reporters that they fly into a frenzy of sanctimony and hypocrisy whenever the subject of clerical sexual abuse comes up, as if Catholic religious were the only ones guilty of sexual abuse. Anyone without the brain damage caused by years of unremitting prejudice will find after a not too demanding search that Catholic religious account for a tiny percentage of sexual and physical abuse across Western society. Indeed, reporters could consult the media instruments they work for to confirm this fact. But they won't. There is a political campaign to advance and prejudice to stoke.

Below I list my comments and media reports that demonstrate the extent of the physical and sexual violence across society, violence that governments and other (non-religious) responsible bodies ignore or do little about. Note that I have restricted the reports to the widespread violence and abuse in Australian society. The same circumstances and their causes are to be found in all Western countries, whose manifest decay has been brought about by the materialist dogma of those most hysterical about clerical sexual abuse. No faith has been proven more blind than the atheistic faith in materialism.

Scoundrel Time(s)
The sexual and physical abuse of children and young people is a global plague; its manifestations run the gamut from fondling by teachers to rape by uncles to kidnapping-and-sex-trafficking. In the United States alone, there are reportedly some 39 million victims of childhood sexual abuse. Forty to sixty percent were abused by family members, including stepfathers and live-in boyfriends of a child’s mother—thus suggesting that abused children are the principal victims of the sexual revolution, the breakdown of marriage, and the hook-up culture. Hofstra University professor Charol Shakeshaft reports that 6-10 percent of public school students have been molested in recent years—some 290,000 between 1991 and 2000. According to other recent studies, 2 percent of sex abuse offenders were Catholic priests—a phenomenon that spiked between the mid-1960s and the mid-1980s but seems to have virtually disappeared (six credible cases of clerical sexual abuse in 2009 were reported in the U.S. bishops’ annual audit, in a Church of some 65,000,000 members).

Forgotten study: abuse in school 100 times worse than by priests
...according to Charol Shakeshaft, the researcher of a little-remembered 2004 study prepared for the U.S. Department of Education, 'the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.'

This is merely a selection of media reports drawn from a limited group of newspapers. It gives an overwhelming picture, of which clerical sexual abuse is a tiny proportion. One should note that these reports are without the hysteria of political bias that goes with reporting on the Catholic Church.
