The rate of molestation in the Catholic Church, while scandalous, was at a rate less than that of Protestant religions, far less than in judiaism, and less than that in the general population. The RCC has been an easy target and has received 99% of the criticism and press attention for something that is more prevalent in other religions.

sure, man. the group with all the latinos has the lowest rates of child molestation. in any case, what separates the catholic church from the others is the existence of centralized knowledge of and power to correct the abuses, which assets were instead used to a conduct a pederast shell game.

My theory is that with the direction society has been going and moving away from religious institutions many normal ish types that a century ago might have entered the priesthood would never entertain that now. Homosexuals were always present in the church structure, but the real men that kept them in check were no longer there (circa Vatican ii but really before that) and so the fags ran amok. At that point it with gays in charge and free access to young boys they did what they do. That said, it's a 2000 year old institution so of course shit gets off the rails from time to time.

Catholic teaching is the opposite - Reconciliation/confession/penance is absolutely necessary for the forgiveness of mortal sins, which is necessary for eternal life.

Just look up "Penance and Reconciliation" in the index Catholic Catechism and see the many references to where this is established. There are too many references to count.

Papal bootlicker. The Catholic Church that I can see from the far edge of my property and that sits across the street from my Presbyterian church actively participated in the transfer and concealment of child molesters as late as the 2010s. Why would I ever bring my family to such a place, much less support it financially?

But hey, if your family’s spiritual needs are best met by a group of sexually deviant men who forsake, and so cannot understand, family, then you do you.

Presbyterians have confession every Sunday and are encouraged to confess in prayer consistently. We just don’t need intermediaries like Catholics.

Baptists and charismatic denominations don’t emphasize confession but I imagine they do as well.

Confessional lutherans believe in the real presence. I think Anglicans and Methodists do as well.

Confessional lutherans also have the doctrine of practicing closed communion. In practice I am not sure about how well this is achieved.
