    I thought this was far less common between protestants whose priests can actually have a family, but I rarely get any “protestant news” given that i live in a catholic country

      Personally I feel like it happens less often. The Catholic Church really have a reputation. I’ve only ever heard ‘altar boy’ to mean a young boy who’s being groomed and taken advantage of. I have no fucking clue what an altar boy really is.

      Whoever it definitely still happens with protestants. Usually with youth pastors (surprise, surprise).
