Lats say since the 50's, it became known that teachers are abuseing their scholors (and some likely did). Would the reaction of the school officials and public have been the same as with "the Church"?

Would the teacher not have been promptly separated from the children by officials until the matter was cleared up? What would we say if school officials merely transferred them to another school? Or, if schools failed to adsress cases of child sexual abuse for may years? Would citizens and the media not clamour for action?

Why lower expectations for the Church by authorities and otherwise caring people?

Recentlty in Texas, the state moved decisively to protect children suspected of being abused by a religeous order. Does this mean society has learned something, is it an isolated case, or is there a double standard in play?
