People don't really need a reason to leave the Church. But very often they will manufacture one. One recent excuse for deserting the Mystical Body of Christ has been the clergy abuse scandals. For more than ten years now I have been telling anyone who will listen that sexual abuse of children (both adolescents and pre-adolescents) has been far more widespread in the public schools and throughout society in general.

Presumably the same people who abandoned Holy Mother Church because of the actions of a comparatively smaller number of errant priests will now remove their children from the public school system.
Or will they?
The liberal media loves to bash the Catholic Church but will ignore the epidemic of child abuse within the public school system. Same-old same-old.
