(cases of ‘sexual abuse’ (particularly of ‘children’) and subsequent ‘cover-ups’ committed during the ’20th’ and ’21st’ centuries by ‘catholic priests’, ‘nuns’, and ‘members of ‘roman catholic orders” have led to numerous ‘allegations’, ‘investigations’, ‘trials’, and ‘convictions’)

.
(the abused include ‘boys’ and ‘girls’, some as young as ‘3 years old’, with the majority between the ages of ’11’ and ’14’)
(the accusations began to receive wide publicity in the ‘late 1980s’)
(many of these involve cases in which a figure was accused of ‘abuse’ for decades; such allegations were frequently made by ‘adults’ or ‘older youths’ years after the abuse occurred)
(cases have also been brought against members of the ‘catholic hierarchy’ who covered up ‘sex abuse allegations’ onset on ‘seminary formations’, and through moving allegedly abusive priests to other ‘parishes’, where abuse sometimes continued)
(the cases received significant “(‘media’ and ‘public’) attention” throughout the ‘world’, especially in ‘ireland’, ‘canada’, and the ‘united states’)
(members of the church’s hierarchy have argued that media coverage was ‘excessive’ and ‘disproportionate’, and that such abuse takes place in other ‘religions’ and ‘institutions’)
(a series of ‘television documentaries’ in the ‘1990s’, such as “suffer the children” (‘UTV’ / ‘1994’), brought the issue to national attention in ‘ireland’)
(a critical investigation by the boston globe in ‘2002’ led to widespread media coverage of the issue in the ‘united states’, which was later dramatized in tom mccarthy’s film spotlight in ‘2015’)
(by ‘2010’, much of the reporting focused on abuse in ‘europe’)
(from ‘2001’ to ‘2010’ the ‘holy see’ (the central governing body of the ‘catholic church’) considered ‘sex abuse allegations’ involving about ‘3,000 priests’ dating back up to ’50 years’)
(cases worldwide reflect patterns of ‘long-term abuse’ and of the ‘church hierarchy’ regularly covering up reports of ‘alleged abuse’)
(‘diocesan officials’ and ‘academics’ knowledgeable about the ‘roman catholic church’ say that ‘sexual abuse’ by ‘clergy’ is generally not discussed, and thus is difficult to measure)
(in ‘the philippines’, where as of ‘2002’ at least 85% of the population is ‘catholic’, revelations of ‘child sexual abuse’ by ‘priests’ followed the ‘united states’ reporting in ‘2002’)
(some studies claim that ‘priests’ in the ‘catholic church’ may not be any more likely than other men to ‘commit abuse’)
(“but shouldn’t there be a way higher moral standard for ‘men of god’?
(“btw ‘man of god’ is a such an awkward description of a person”)
(“that’ll be all for now…just ‘present joga’ checking in on my ‘past selves’)
(“i’ll be tucking them in and leaving in a short while…”)
.
(in addition, the studies claim that the rate of abuse’ by ‘priests’ had fallen sharply in the last “’20’ to ’30’ years”, and that some 75% of the cases in the ‘united states’ occurred between ‘1960’ and ‘1985’)
