This is so naive I can’t believe there’s people who think like you. I think Epstein was probably a low level player compared to what goes on in Russia and the Middle East.
Yeah, I'm certainly only speaking for the West. But here risk has gone up and public sentiment has changed. In the 1980s people would be more likely to cover for a priest. Today they're more likely to murder that priest. The church is more likely to turn them over to authorities rather than move them to another parish.
you might want to lay off the church's coolaid. They're still protecting priests and pastors. The only time they don't is when public backlash is so high it's no longer feasible to do so. For every pedopriest you hear about there are another dozen doing the same thing quietly.
sex trafficking has always been part of human behavior, probably even before we were technically modern humans. And it probably always will be. This isn't pessimism. this is reality. If you want some optmimism, know there's also always been people standing against it, doing what they can to end it. but it's not a fight that ends until humanity ends.
What public sentiment change are you referring to?
