I thought this was far less common between protestants whose priests can actually have a family, but I rarely get any “protestant news” given that i live in a catholic country
It happens at the same rate most likely, but I don’t think protestants have the same centralized authority that Catholics do to coordinate massive coverups, so the pastors usually get fired or “quietly retire” rather than being shifted to a new church where nobody knows they’re a pedo.
Personally I feel like it happens less often. The Catholic Church really have a reputation. I’ve only ever heard ‘altar boy’ to mean a young boy who’s being groomed and taken advantage of. I have no fucking clue what an altar boy really is.
Whoever it definitely still happens with protestants. Usually with youth pastors (surprise, surprise).
Been happening for a long time. It’s also not just Catholic church. All religions are guilty of some sick shit. ALL OF THEM!
