husband family disowned her? or her own family. i think that family was complicit and knew about the abuse.

The son abused his little sister for years.

The family of the children (including grandparents and uncles and aunts and cousins) disowned the sister for making the family look bad.

One cousin cut the family off afterwards because of the injustice, and still maintains contact with the abused woman.

Welcome to the mids 2010s, may I take your coat? This was a very common thing to say, down to the word, and was posted everywhere for years since that was the peak of when the American right-wingers had temper tantrums over kids being around lgbtq+ people (mainly drag shows etc.).
This isn't a shower thought, it's just a popular opinion.

Yes but statistics indicate priests are not more likely to be pedophiles than any other profession that works regularly with children.

The problem with the catholic church isn't just that a lot of preists are predators, it's that the church covered up these crimes and moved preists to new places where they could continue being predators

You're right, my comment didn't address how the church protects predators compared to other professions that work with kids.

To be fair.... Catholics, the followers are not throwing their children to the pedophiles but the catholic church is a corporation... and capitalism sucks ass

God is dead but i wish it wasn't

I fucking hate religion

But can we have order in union with the natural world

Catholics are a pain in the ass... they got a magga cult (low key unnoticed lil cival war) but these evangicals are the issue. libturd as the catholics may be they are nothing like these evengicals... there are exceptions.

They're not in much danger during a church service, but they're in danger when left alone with a preist

Is this still happening a lot lately in the Catholic Church?

At least a slither of a silver-lining for the poor sister that got abused. The cousin made an honourable decision; I guess that the cousin realised that if the family was of that calibre, that she'd be better off without them, and I applaud their rationale.

Even though they both made the best decision from shitty circumstances, life will be hard for them both, without family. At least they're now free of that vile bunch.

I don't know anybody, myself included certainly, who doesn't have a story about a youth pastor.

When I hear pastor, I can't help but think of pasture, as in "put out to pasture". It's a lot harder to molest vunerable people if they're without an misleading image to hide behind.

Pastor means shepherd, and pasture means sheep-field. So yeah.
