I've been reading some of the media reports on what happened in Munich and the clear impression was that sexual abuse was very prevalent and widespread. Notice how physical abuse (like smacking a misbehaving kid) of the type I even suffered in Catholic school when it was the norm for the day) is now being lumped together with sexual abuse in the media. They use the word "abuse" so the imbeciles assume sexual abuse. Here is what may be an unbiased report of what really happened in Munich and when. I'm pleasantly surprised it came from AP: "In Munich, meanwhile, an independent lawyer hired by the Catholic church wrapped up his investigation of abuse allegations at the southern Ettal monastery. "The investigation clearly shows a system of abuse that lasted for decades," Thomas Pfister told The Associated Press. There were some cases of sexual abuse at Ettal but most victims who came forward were physically abused and most cases took place before 1990, Pfister said in a telephone interview. The lawyer declined to elaborate as his final report will be published next week".
