Jeff Epstein/Bill Clinton bff Jean Luc Brunel was "found dead by suicide" in his prison cell this past Saturday.

When you have nasty dirt on people like Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson, and/or Prince Andrew, and you end up in prison, you've got to really watch your back!

Don't you mean Jeff Epstein/Donald Trump bff?

And also Donald Trump. August 10, 2019, the date of Epstein's suicide was neither during Clinton's presidency nor in Prince Andrew's country. However,
it was both during Trump's presidency *and* in the country of which Trump was president. Curious, no?

I mean, really, man historically speaking, what have been the biggest
instances of institutionalized pedophelia?

The Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts.

While both have become somewhat more liberal in recent years, this history of institutionalized sexual abuse of children goes back decades, if not more, a time during which both the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts were considered very conservative organizations.

I'm sorry that, aparently, some Republican scoutmaster did that stuff to you.

I was fortunate to avoid such a fate, but many were not. Likewise in the church. Although I was raised Lutheran, not Catholic, there does seem to be a certain correlation between the pprevalence of sex crimes and the level of conservatism, and especially authoritarianism, in a given denomination/congregation.

Hello Jeff,

While both have become somewhat more liberal in recent years,

this

history of institutionalized sexual abuse of children goes back

decad

if not more, a time during which both the Catholic Church and

the Boy

Scouts were considered very conservative organizations.

I'm sorry that, aparently, some Republican scoutmaster did that stuff

to

you.

I was fortunate to avoid such a fate, but many were not. Likewise in the church. Although I was raised Lutheran, not Catholic, there does seem to be
a
certain correlation between the pprevalence of sex crimes and the level of conservatism, and especially authoritarianism, in a given denomination/congregation.

All who have committed sex crimes should be charged and prosecuted.
As well as those who cover up those crimes. How many sexual predators
have hid behind the cover of being a school teacher, or a priest, or
any other person seen as an authority?

It is not the Catholic Church itself that is at fault, but some within
the RCC who are/were at fault. Benedict XVI resigned from office due to
his failure to correct the problem when he was pope. And has since been
found to have been responsible for allowing it to happen when he was
bishop in Germany, prior to becoming pope.

John Paul II was in office for 26 years, yet chose to do nothing at
all until the last year of his pontificate, when he knew he was dying.
And what he did then was very little. With his top lieutenant standing
right by his side (B16).

Yes, there are many Catholics who have sinned. There have also been
many non-Catholics. So let's not blame all the priests and ministers,
whoever they may be. Most are good and faithful servants who would
never do what those creeps have done.

Agreed. I do not favor letting anyone get away with it.

It is not the Catholic Church itself that is at fault, but some within
the RCC who are/were at fault. Benedict XVI resigned from office due to his failure to correct the problem when he was pope. And has since been found to have been responsible for allowing it to happen when he was bishop in Germany, prior to becoming pope.

According to Catholic doctrine, all Catholics are guilty of sin. But you don't hear them whining about not even being alive when Eve ate that apple, do you?
I mean, between then and now there was apparently even a worldwide flood that killed all humans except one family. But not even that was enough to atone
for the apple incident.

However, you are absolutely correct that the vast majority of Catholics have not abused children. However, those that have being protected by their organization is another matter entirely.

I would equate that less to the levels of what you say and more to the
levels of "secretism" and mystery that some of these groups like to
maintain.

The Boy Scouts? Secretive? What did I miss?
