What Rich White Men and Roman Catholic Priests Have in Common [View all]

Both can fairly freely sexually abuse innocent young people.

Rich White Men hand out $100 bills to the young people they groom and abuse, and hide their heinous acts through the work of expensive lawyers. Those men prey on troubled youths who are desperate and unable to refuse.

Roman Catholic Priests convince young people to let the abuse happen, through grooming with trust and false piety. Their organizational hierarchy hides their heinous acts by moving them to new locations when they are discovered and by pretending it never happened. Those men also seek out troubled youths and exploit religion to have their way with them.

In both situations, the young people are forever damaged, but the perpetrators of the sexual abuse escape punishment for long, long periods of time, due to their prominence and with the help of others.
