I would not normally refresh a thread that had run it's course (several times over), however time and time again we read of child abuse by the clergy and by teachers.

Here is yet another, was this person doing the abuse because of "culture" or was he doing it because he was both a TEACHER and a VICAR. Is the culture of these groups responsible.

Could I suggest that each time you read of such an occurance that they are posted here in order to get a balanced view of this problem.

Teachers and vicars do seem to be a major factor in child abuse, perhaps someone who has been a teacher and is a practicing member of a church could throw light on this.
