Every country has laws concerning alcohol abuse.
Mandatory reporting by religious organizations of child abuse by clergy is essential to ensure the protection of children and promote accountability within these institutions. It helps to create a legal obligation for clergy to report suspected abuse, which can lead to timely intervention and prevention of further harm. Additionally, such measures can foster transparency and restore public trust in religious organizations by demonstrating a commitment to child safety and ethical conduct. Implementing mandatory reporting can also align religious organizations with broader societal efforts to combat child abuse.

This isn't true. The Catholic Church would never authorize 'child abuse'. However, in the past, sadly many of the clergy may have sanctioned or participated in immoral acts like child abuse. Just because a few religious do this shouldn't be confused with the entire Church sacntionizing or morally approving the immoral act. Those clergy or laymen who claim that the Church is taking some immoral position such as authorizing child abuse are spreading heresy and in extreme cases can be excommunicated.
The most controversial social issues concerning Americans in the 1980s were drug abuse, teen pregnancy, and racial violence.
In the catholic Church, the clergy are in decline. This has happened for a number of reasons: 1. They became corrupt, possibly have been for centuries 2. They abused their authority. 3. The main reason for the downfall is that people became more educated and began to question the clergy, and didn't like the answers they found; widespread sexual and physical and mental abuse of vulnerable children. 4. The clergy and the hierarchy have done nothing to address the sins, crimes, wrongs in the clergy.
