Not so much back then. From Delaware & born in the 60's and I can confirm that there was a normalcy to look the other way when it comes to abuse & those in the catholic church.
I lived 2 doors from the church and at the other end of the block was the convent. I could go to school bloody and bruised and there was no concern for us that such an upstanding person in the community could be so abusive so nothing was ever done or said. My childhood was so traumatic that my sister didn't make it through.
