Catholic church/priest scandal

Is this happening only in the U.S., or are there cases anywhere else in the world?

Some, I think. Not so many.

In Canada, there is a major scandal involving both the RCC and Anglican Church (they used to lock up the Indian kids in residential “schools” - much abuse followed.

Also, nasty stuff in Africa.

In Australia

In Ireland

In Austria

In Germany… okay you get the idea. Yes it’s pretty ubiquitous…

this is sort of a hijack, (mods, take it off if you see fit), but are there any catholics here who decided to quit the church because of the scandals?
