I could go on, but just that on it’s own is enough to paint the whole piece as an apologists attempt to spin the facts.


He doesn't ask readers to infer anything. He states plainly that:


"The 4 percent figure appears lower than school teachers during the same time frame, and certainly less than offenders in the general population of men."

"



And in the next sentence he quotes % numbers of victims in general population.
Why?
Clearly, it’s designed to make you think the 4% number is comparable,when it clearly isn’t.
The actual report he gets the 4% number says that the 1970 cohort actually offended at a 10% rate.
Nowhere does he explain how he can state the rates of offending teachers or general members of the public.
Just the vibe
And you know, faith........

Even if you take the 4% at face value, it’s misleading. People are entrusting their children to the care of this mob, not average people on the street. Hey, send you kids to our school, there’s only a one in 25 chance they’ll get buggered.

There is a bit of a bait and switch at the end in comparing priests not to the general population but to “any other institution in which adults are in a position of authority and power over children”.

The thing is, the claims look to be wrong. The Royal Commission is now clearly showing that the rate for priests is considerably higher, and this is perhaps the most robust study to date. But even a good analysis of previous data appears to show the clergy significantly higher than the general population.

From the same piece:

Reminding you of an earlier point: one issue with comparing stats is that for the priests, these are people who have been outright accused; for the general population, this might be people who have shown interest on the internet and have had their interest flag up in surveys. Priests doing this will not have featured on the clergy results.

He mentions the JJC article referred to in the link above to come at his figure. The he says it’s supported by “several other studies” but doesn’t reference any of them

Be very clear about this.  The apologists for the child sex offenders within the Catholic Church want to mislead us and makes me  Angry.

The 4.3% figure being spouted by Stayer is the total number of priests reported to have engaged in the sexual abuse of children as reported by the Catholic Church.     It is the result of a study authorized and paid for by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) conducted by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. 

The study was difficult because offending priests were moved (by the church) from parish to parish in different diocese where they repeatedly re-offended.  Ernst and Young were employed to fish out such duplicates and strip the data of anything that might identify the perpetrators.   

It chronically understates the case because in the USA some dioceses are compelled to release internal abuse files to the police or the public and in other states they are not, and the John Jay survey depended on the honesty of dioceses to self report.  

By design the origins of the data were not identified (i.e. there no way of telling from which diocese the data was originating) but in those dioceses where mandatory public reporting is practiced the rate of reporting is more than double the national average claimed by John Jay.  For example:

Diocese of Providence RI:             More than 10%
Archdiocese of Philadelphia:            7.7%
Diocese of Manchester NH:             8.9%
Diocese of Covington KY:                9.6%    (source : BishopAccountability.org)

In other words the church, when not compelled to mandatory report incidents of child sexual abuse by its clergy chronically understates it.

Reporting of sexual assault by clergy is also known to be chronically under reported in Australia.  The Royal Commission found that the average time between suffering the assault and reporting the assault in Australia  was 33 years, a figure that is reducing as victims become more confident in the legal system and the support networks for survivors of sexual abuse as children.   With such a lag in makes any data before 1993 all the more unreliable as there is undoubtedly a remainder yet to be reported.  The John Jay survey was based on 1950 to 2002.  

The John Jay researchers made the point,

"• It is impossible to determine from our surveys what percent of all actual cases of abuse that occurred between 1950 and 2002 have been reported to the Church and are therefore in our dataset. Allegations of child sexual abuse are made gradually over an extended time period and it is likely that further allegations will be made with respect to recent time periods covered in our surveys. Less than 13% of allegations were made in the year in which the abuse allegedly began, and more than 25% of the allegations were made more than 30 years after the alleged abuse began."


According John Jay only 24% of the cases reported to the Church were reported to police and of that 24% only 37% were prosecuted or 6% of all those reported to the church.

The John Jay study makes it very plain in the introduction to its report :

. " All researchers acknowledge that those who are arrested represent only a fraction of all sexual offenders. Sexual crimes have the lowest rates of reporting for all crimes. "

So, to recap. The numbers from the psychologist op-ed are garbage. And they’re supported by studies that don’t exist.

Suffer the perpetrator: Pell and the twisted inversion of victimhood

Justice has been served. Or has it?

The saga of George Pell is not yet over. The Victorian Court of Appeal's decision to uphold the cardinal's conviction for child sex abuse may yet reach the High Court. We will find out soon enough.

Our response to the case has revealed much about us as Australians. For all our national myth-making about egalitarianism, it's clear that power still goes a long way in this place. The powerful will always have their friends, who will always defend them. No matter what their crime.

Back in March, Pell was sentenced to a minimum of three years and eight months' jail for sexually abusing two 13-year-old choirboys in 1996, while he was archbishop of Melbourne. The reaction of his supporters was extraordinary enough. Prominent Catholics, two former prime ministers, and the usual army of right-wing commentators launched defences of Pell, as well as attacks on a Victorian County Court jury's unanimous finding of Pell's guilt. There were charges that Pell had been claimed by trumped-up charges, and by a campaign of vilification.

Conservatives are supposed to be champions of the rule of law. Not this time.

There was more of the same this week. More incredulity, with even greater despair. When the Court of Appeal's decision was announced on Wednesday, Herald Suncommentator Andrew Bolt instantaneously declared he was “appalled”. His News Corp colleague Miranda Devine denounced a “conviction by zeitgeist”.

The reality of an upheld conviction seemed to disorient others. Asked in an interview if he still believed in Pell's protestations of innocence, Melbourne Catholic archbishop Peter Comensoli said that he did. Then he added that he also believed the victim who accused Pell of abusing him: “I believe both.”

One thing has become clearer. Within conservative Australia, particularly sections of our media, ideological tribalism prevails. Everything, it seems, is driven by the culture war.

It's the culture war that explains why much media coverage of Pell’s case has cast him as the real victim. For example, on Thursday, Devine declared that Pell had been “crucified for the past sins of the Catholic Church”.

In a letter he apparently wrote to supporters from prison this month, the cardinal also seemed to embrace the status of a martyr. He reportedly wrote: “The knowledge that my small suffering can be used for good purposes through being joined to Jesus' suffering gives me purpose and direction.”

We see here a twisted inversion of victimhood. The perpetrator is now the victim.

This is no accident. Rather, it's an expression of an ideological mutation of Australian conservatism.

Those on the conservative side of politics like to bemoan left-wing identity politics for its supposed creation of a culture of victimhood. They argue that society now has a new moral hierarchy, in which the most virtuous are those who’ve been oppressed because of their race, gender and sexuality. Conservatives believe we’re now governed by the tyranny of minorities

I don’t find this account convincing. In Australia, at least, if there’s a problem with a victimhood culture, it exists on the right of politics, not the left. When conservatives talk about the perils of victimhood, it looks and sounds a lot like psychological projection.

Think of the cultural grievances that now dominate conservative politics. The complaints about people of faith being persecuted by secular progressives. The attacks against anti-racism on the grounds that it’s a form of racism directed at whites. The resentment against feminism’s emasculation of men. The anxieties about LGBTIQ people threatening the innocence of children.

The cultural politics of conservatism is now racialised and gendered. It’s pitched in the language of disadvantage and disempowerment. It is, in other words, everything that conservatives like to denounce.

Of course, it’s hard to believe conservatives are the real victims in all this. But they have elevated their imagined suffering above the suffering of the real victims.

In Pell’s case, the surviving victim himself, known only as “J”, has been rendered invisible and silent within much of the debate.

His voice, though, was heard this week. In a statement released by his lawyer, J noted that Pell had enjoyed “every opportunity to challenge the charges and every opportunity to be heard”. J hoped “it is all over now”.

This may yet prove premature. Certainly the response of Pell’s supporters should leave us feeling troubled.

Our society’s functioning depends, in part, on our collective temper and spirit as citizens. It depends on us accepting the rule of law, whether we may like the results or not. Our institutions can’t survive if substantial factions of our society treat law courts with moral contempt.

The response this week by some conservatives does make you wonder. Will some only accept the rule of law when they win? What will happen the next time the result doesn’t go their way? And what does that mean for the rest of us?

My opinion of the Pell case has nothing to do with Pell, Professor Tim. You could substitute anybody into the same scenario and my opinion would be the same. If there is no reasonable doubt in this case there is no reasonable doubt in Australian criminal law any more.

What a surprise that an apologist for the church, and someone that worked with them/ for them for over a decade would publish such drivel.

I spose the believers will take comfort from his spin.....

They seem to believe anything



The whole thing hangs on a few claims:

4 percent of Catholic priests in the U.S. sexually victimized minors during the past half century. No evidence has been published at this time which states this number is higher than clergy from other religious traditions. The 4 percent figure appears lower than school teachers during the same time frame, and certainly less than offenders in the general population of men.

If those claims are accurate I can't see anything wrong with the article. Are they accurate?


The "usual suspects" don't rely on "accurate" anything Tlaz ... they just go "RRRREEEEE!!!!"Cry.

There it is ... another non answer by one of the unhinged Christophobes.

You can't just scream "drivel" without giving a reason Whale!

So, still no source for your irrational claim that Graeme Curran was anything more than a predatory pedophile, and was in fact  "a devout Christian Catholic" ... was that just a lie to smear the church? ... goodness, you had no credibility to start with!Embarrassed

It's very dangerous to follow the media and the Christophobes and ignore the issue is far more prevalent, entrenched and wider than the Catholic Preist problem that they make out.

The time, effort, money and resources spent to have Pell convicted as a kiddy fiddler will do nothing more than massage a few atheist egos - everyone knows the problem within the church, and it is being addressed ... whilst a whole cohort of offenders are largely ignored.Unhappy

Oh dear,
Stop posting and wait for the kids to explain it to you.

Nowhere do I state that only Catholic clergy are paedophiles.
Whataboutism is merely ant attempt to shift the focus, not an argument for anything.

If you could comprehend my post,you would realise the “my statistics” are direct quotes from the piece I’m disparaging as biased drivel.

Then states 15-20% of kids get fiddled with.

The link clearly is meant for the reader to infer that these figures together mean that Catholic clergy are under represented in the community.

Except everyone knows the quota for Catholic clergy to rape kiddies is not capped to one per abuser..

I could go on, but just that on it’s own is enough to paint the whole piece as an apologists attempt to spin the facts.


You could go on, but you would just sound even sillier.

You do know that not every pedo qualifies for be a priest or a brother ... 

How many Catholic Clergy were fortunate enough to score a ticket on the Lolita Express?

Wipe the blood from your eyes rusty and stop making up statistics that you have no idea about ... you are sounding like Whale.

Oh dear,
Stop posting and wait for the kids to explain it to you.

Nowhere do I state that only Catholic clergy are paedophiles.
Whataboutism is merely ant attempt to shift the focus, not an argument for anything.

If you could comprehend my post,you would realise the “my statistics” are direct quotes from the piece I’m disparaging as biased drivel.

Your posts are incomprehensible.
In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

The time, effort, money and resources spent to have Pell convicted as a kiddy fiddler will do nothing more than massage a few atheist egos - everyone knows the problem within the church, and it is being addressed ... whilst a whole cohort of offenders are largely ignored.Unhappy

Being addressed?

The current Melbourne archbishop is stating that another cardinal operating out of Melbourne at the same time as Pell was undoubtedly a kiddie fiddler.
Doesn’t name him, hasn’t passed his allegations to the Police for action.
Just wants George out of the boob.....
Seriously, how can anyone support these morally bankrupt criminals

The Australian royal commission into the institutional responses to child sexual abuse 

Statistics

Some statistics published by the royal commission vary slightly. These are sourced from the final information update.

  • The royal commission heard evidence from almost 8,000 witnesses in private sessions, received 1,344 written accounts and held 444 days of public hearings 
  • The evidence related to 3,489 institutions
  •  Most survivors (63.6%) were male
  • 93.8% were abused by a male
  • 83.8% of survivors said they were abused by an adult
  • More than half of survivors were between 10 and 14 when they were first abused. The average age of victims when first abused was 10.4 years
  • The average age of survivors at the time of their private session was 52. The youngest to attend a private session was seven; the oldest was 93
  • More than a third (36.3%) said they were abused by multiple perpetrators
  • Child sexual abuse experienced in institutions continued for an average of 2.2 years
  • Abuse took place most commonly in an institution managed by a religious organisation (reported by 58.1% of survivors). Government-run institutions accounted for 32.5% and non-government, non-religious institutions for 10.5%. 
  • Of those abused in a religious institution, 61.4% were in a Catholic institution, 14.8% Anglican, 7.2% Salvation Army and the rest in various denominations 
  • As a proportion of all survivors, 35.7% were in a Catholic institution and 8.6% in an Anglican institution
  • More than one in three survivors (35.2%) said they were sexually abused in out-of-home care, primarily residential institutions such as children’s homes
  •  Just under one-third (31.6%) said they were abused in a school, and 14.6% said they were abused while involved in religious activities, such as attending a church or seminary
  • The most common occupations of those identified as perpetrators were a person in religious ministry (31.8%), teacher (20.4%), residential care worker (13.5%) and foster carer (11.3%)
  • More than one in five survivors (21%) said they were sexually abused in more than one institution.
  •  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people represented 14.9% of survivors 
  • 4.2% of survivors had a disability at the time of the abuse
  • More than one in 10 of the survivors who gave evidence were in prison at the time of their private session
  • The commission has referred 2,562 matters to police.
