text: No more than the public school system.  A safe haven and bastion of child rape.
   
  No where did they condone it. Mishandled it, yes.  Didn't believe it happened YES. Condoned it absolutely not.
  
  Absolutely nothing different happened in the  public school system. They assumed early accusations were false. They moved teachers or ignored complaints until  l they could no longer ignore them. And enormous number of complaints were made decades after the abuse accrued.
  
  The only difference is the public school system is 1000s of different separate school systems and tat isn't hated by liberals.  The catholic church, while made up of 100s of semi separate diocese, falls under one organization and is hated by liberals.
