And how many ‘missionaries’ from the UK just happened to find themselves working abroad in church schools. Schools where spanking was the first, last and only sanction, regardless of age or sex of pupil. (Not possible; well a few months ago Channel4 had a program, part of which showed the nature of classroom life in an African secondary school. The caning of mostly girls bottoms was brutal, and seemingly never ending.)
Of course, most of the sad abuse cases we hear about from Canada and Australia etc., occured when ‘orphans’ were deported to ‘religious institutes’ run by nuns and priests.
