That's ridiculous. Progressives are the ones that made it illegal to molest children the first place. Minimum age of consent, minimum age for marriage, child labor laws, even the concept of teenagers being children still are all developments that happened because of Progressives.
Read what I said about the Catholic Church again.
And no, you do not know five little ones raped by priests. I was born and raised Catholic, went to two Catholic elementary schools, high school and a college, and I don't know anybody that was molested by priests. I did know somebody who started telling a peculiar story that sounded like it was leading to that, but then he ran off. But his close friends said it was bs because he told tall tales. And it turned out that yes, he does, but still, to this day, of course I still wonder. This was before all this stuff came out, so it wasn't exactly talked about or widely believed to be happening.
