I specifically recall when my mother used to do the dial-in when she was sick, I heard a brother mention in the WT study make a comment about the Catholic Church and all the child molestations going on (knowing damn well that the same thing was going on in the Borg) All I have to say is at least they're making an effort to get rid of the problem by getting rid of the offenders, instead of telling them to "study more" or go out the in preaching service to rid themselves of the problem.
"The Vatican defrocked 260 priests for the sexual abuse of children in 2011 and 124 more in 2012 after the scandal exploded in Europe and beyond and bishops forwarded hundreds of cases to the Vatican, according to statistics compiled by The Associated Press.
The numbers were confirmed by the Vatican on Friday, and were based on statistics published in its annual reference books. Two Vatican officials had the statistics in hand but never cited them when they defended the church’s handling of sexual abuse cases before a United Nations panel in Geneva on Thursday."
