Long before Rome, there was Byzantium.
Well before the Catholic Christians, there were
the Eastern Orthodox Christians.

And not all that much attention, in mass media,
goes to revelations of clerical abuse,
be it of minors or of grown adults,
by Eastern Orthodox clerics.

If you look, and one doesn't have all that far to look,
the Eastern Orthodox wing of Christianity
is also breaking the silence about clerical abuse,
as it has been a fact of life in that denomination for a long time,
and the cover-ups and bureaucratic power plays
have been equally pervasive.
