This time on the island of Guam. [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/08/04/guam-priest-child-sex-abuse-scandal/503680001/].
"Archbishop Anthony Apuron, 13 Guam priests and others, including a Catholic schoolteacher, a Catholic school janitor and a Boy Scout leader, are alleged to be sexual predators. Guam's Archdiocese of Agana is a defendant in 96 lawsuits. The complaints detail alleged attacks from 1955 through 1994 and claim some religious leaders knew of the exploitation and ignored it. One retired priest, who admitted in an affidavit that he sexually abused 20 or more boys, still receives a monthly stipend from the archdiocese. The accusations also ensnare the Boy Scouts of America, where that priest also served as a scoutmaster. The scouting group is named as a co-defendant in 52 lawsuits."
Is it time to designate institutional pedogate with subheadings such as Govt (Dept. of State); Cath (Catholic); Refu (Refugee); Adop (Adoption), etc.

The Catholic Church has twice the rate of sexual abuse as Protestant churches. They should look at all of their policies in light of this. While they focus on globalist politics their church is going to hell.
