Or any other power structure.
I'd bet (just a hunch), that any organization, esp secular, has this problem to a greater degree.
Police abuses (all the time)
Schools ( yup, lots of perv teachers)
Other religions (yup)
Community clubs (yup)
Coaches of Olympic Athletes (yup - lots of abuses there).
The problem, I see it, is that it is actually expected in all those other forums
but ought to be not expected from people's claiming to be Spiritually Enlightened.
However, coming full circle, the spiritual enlightenment of Christianity is actually:
"We are fucked in the head, and heart, and need God's help".
So actually, it is not surprising then - because
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
No one in this world has the abuse industry cornered.
What about the Romans? They had an entire school industry with the government and social and legal endorsement
of pedastery. Seriously effed. And that was the Roman Empire.
