" ...There is something important to observe in this discussion. The Protestants in here ignoring their own scandals and instead focusing on the scandals in the Roman Catholic Church ....
(note: italicize my emphasis to clarify)
AS I stated before - the reason for the amount of info about RCC "priests" is there are so many who are guilty.
I don't know about Protestants minister - actually I cant think of any I have heard about - but there have been several Baptist ministers of megachruches and how they have been found guilty of this horrific crime. Some of these were very well known and respected by Baptists throughout the country. A major city newspaper did some research and found several hundred pastors and other church leaders who were guilty of abusing children.
The difference between the RCC and Baptists - is that the "priests" come under control of the bishops - and often in the past were often just moved to another church. Baptist pastors only come under control of their local church and not the denomination.
In fact, right here in the Salt City, there was a Baptist pastor of a small IFB church whom I personally know, was arrested and spent time in jail for his crime. He has been released, but is no longer serving in a church.
So don't think we only pick on Catholics - it just that the RCC is the largest Religious group in the USA, and statistically have the most individuals who take the wrong path. I abhor any person - male or female, of any religious group who would treat a child improperly.
