So one more time the story breaks. This, a few days ago.

Catholic Priests Abused 1,000 Children 

in Pennsylvania, Report Says 


Again.
One more time.
This one, below, was just last year.

Vatican meets #MeToo: 

Nuns denounce priests who abused them


Not only have they abused children but they've abused nuns in the religion, too.
How long are we going to put up with this?
How long are we going to tolerate Catholic Priests abusing students, children and yes, nuns, too?
How long are they going to get away with it?
How long are Catholics going to sit in the pews, listening to these men, then giving them money and supporting them?
What kind of insane world is this?

This episode, just announced, goes back decades. It's been estimated it goes back about 7 decades, to be specific. Seventy years.
Seventy years of children being abused. Boys and girls. Students. Children.
But please, keep in mind, this has been going on, as said in the headline here, for centuries.
Centuries.

Hundreds of years.
Some reminders: This one especially resonated with me due to the numbers of children found who had died. Had been killed.
