> gospel according to Saint Paul or another saint

The girl quoted is not Catholic. Anyone who spent any time in a Catholic school would know how goofy that line is.

Also seems a little fishy that only 22 cases out of 330k can be prosecuted? Clergy abuse is terrible, but never trust the MSM when it comes to reporting on things related to Christian churches. It's almost like all the reporters are part of some organization that stands against them. Hmmm.

The whole thing has the "electrified floor" and "masturbation machine" sound to it. Not denying abuse may have happened, but the whole report seems off.

Also interesting how these reports never come out about government schools.

Yeah, isn't that funny? And that the incidents of abuse exploded right after the church began allowing large numbers of homosexuals to join the clergy?

That started in 1950, do tell.

Out of interest, why is that?

Paul wrote 'epistles' (letters to early Christian groups) not gospels. There are also thousands of Saints (people who lived lives of heroic virtue), referring to the gospels as books by some other Saint, is not something a person trained in the faith would say. Especially since the title of 'Saint' is usually omitted when referring to the book. E. G. You say 'the Gospel according to Mark', not 'The gospel according to Saint Mark'.

Ah, thanks, I've seen the phrase "the gospel according to Saint Paul", but maybe that was by non Catholics?

Paul seemed to be some kind of proto-Catholic, so I just assumed he'd be the go-to saint for them?
