(8,377 posts)I never said that the claims were primarily about money. In fact I said noting at all about any claims for money. If you think I said that, then it is YOU who have that on your mind, and maybe I should be taking offense at the way you are thinking.
What I said, and I didn't think is was that hard to understand, is that the Catholic church is the one everybody talks about because it is the big target. There is nothing else like the Catholic church in terms of international hierarchy and control, including centralized control over assets.
I have very good knowledge of child molestation at a certain Church of the Nazarene. But what can you do about that? The church isn't tightly affiliated with a larger hierarchy, so what is the point of bringing action against that one church? They already fired the "minister".
In fact very few of these cases, even with the Catholics, result in prison time. Most all of them are civil suits, so like it or not, that ends up being about money.
