Now, obviously, this is purely anecdotal, but it does indicate that the mood over sexual abuse at the time simply wasn't comparable to what it is these days.

I daresay that there 1,000's of claims like that and most true but attitudes changed in the 80's 90's and 00's progressively getting more favourable towards the complainant so no body can tell me that none of these allegations would not have been investigated or believed ,this has been evidenced by the number of people that have come foward about catholic priest abuses in recent years
