The inability of a child to thrive in a Constitutionally protected God based perpetual threat and rape culture is not a fault of the child; however it does become their odious responsibility upon reaching adulthood. The
Christian religion at its core is a toxic mechanism
whereby intergenerational trauma is kept alive, active, and deeply embedded in each new generation, as
it has done over the past 2,000+ years.

Estimate the number identifying themselves as having been sexually abused as a child by a catholic
priest in a given population
Add you local details to our list by including State, Country, Parish and Diocese details where
possible.

" ... a random survey of over 7,000 active Catholics in the U.S. and Canada found a closer ratio, that 1.7 percent
of the females and 3.3 percent of the males had been sexually abused in childhood by a priest ..." (Katherine van Wormer, MSSW, Ph.D.) Psychology Today - Priest abuse male compared female
victimization impact - published May 20, 2010.
Using these numbers as a base whilst recognising that a substantial number of victims would have already left the
church the following formula is used to calculate a low estimate of the number of sexual abuse victims in a given
population of Catholics.
1.2 billion catholics
1.7% females abused = 10,404,000 [1.7% of 51.98% of the Catholic population]
3.3% males abused = 19,404,000 [3.3% of 48.02% of the Catholic population]
On the basis of the above figures there are potentially 29,808,000 [combined males and females] Catholics in the World
who could identify themselves as having been sexually abused in childhood by a Catholic priest.
This formula can be applied to any population.
Estimate number of Australian Catholics sexually abused in their childhood by Catholic priests.
Australia 5,239,000 million catholics (2006 Census)
Estimated number of survivors who have been "finalized" (completed church or legal process) in Australia between 1000
and 4000.
1.7% females abused = 45,422
3.3% males abused = 84,715

"Once a cult gets big enough to dominate large areas of life (generally large enough to kill people) and gets official
recognition, it becomes a 'religion'." Silverwhistle.
"A review of the literature on priest/clergy abuse reveals that
for both genders the typical survivor
became disillusioned with the church and suffered a loss of religious faith as a result of the abuse and the
subsequent institutional response to the abuse. An inadequate amount of research has been done to determine the
full extent of suicide attempts or completed suicides of victims of this form of abuse. One estimate in the literature
is that 20 percent of children who were abused by religious authorities considered suicide at some point." "...two
major themes: loss of religious faith, and attacks on their personal integrity when they told of the abuse."
Psychology Today - Priest abuse male compared female victimization impactIt is estimated
that only approximately 3% obtain a resolution via the courts or the church; this leaves 97% of survivors of any given
population without any form of justice or adequate treatment and support. The vast majority of these survivors will be
in receipt of some form of government benefit or pension if it is available in that country.
This clearly
defined subset of Catholics and ex-Catholics can be shown to be the subject of discrimination on the basis of the
status of their abusers.

Suicide
Risk; 20% (victims) at the highest risk of suicide as a result of the abuse and the subsequent institutional [and
government] response to the abuse[s].
Calculates the estimated number of people who identify as having been
sexually abused as a child by a catholic priest. Does not include other forms of abuse or abuse by other
religious.
This is the first time this type of data has been made publicly available.
Two major themes: loss of religious faith, and attacks on their personal integrity when they told of the abuse.

© 2018 Molested Catholics
2023 Findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic
priests and laity.
Up to 50 million alive on any day who have been raped or abused by Catholic clergy &/or Catholic laity
Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million alive today who are likely to have been raped by
Catholics globally.
The
church protected the perpetrators, not the victims
"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand
outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted
carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort
and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope
has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this
morning."
Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, 17 July 2008. more

Wednesday, 22 June 2022 - I may not have this down syntax, word and letter perfect or
with
absolute precision in every aspect; however time and the evidence will show that I am closer to the truth than
any religion has been or will likely be.
Let history be the standard by which that is measured.
Youtube - listen to Commissioner Bob
Atkinson get it wrong - again
The Commissioner informs us that the clergy sexual abuse issue was all over and that it had only been a
small statistical glitch around the year 2000. History shows this to have been a display of absolute ignorance
on the issue ...
