The tens of millions of victims of murder for the sake of sexual gratification that were each and every single one endorsed by these non-Catholic churches?

It's a crock to label all non Catholic churches under the same umbrella. I know there are countless Christian frauds out there. The Catholic church does have a hierarchy, however, that knew children were being raped and basically was complicit in it. They talk about being pro life yet are silent about the baby killers running Washington. And your dollars pay for their opulent lifestyle. Open your eyes.

What's a crock is anyone who condones the murder to infants on the alter of either economics or their sex life pretending they have even a clue about what's right and wrong left in their skulls.

Those who pretend the tens of millions of infants murdered by contraceptive (at least twice as many as have been aborted) is a lesser sin than whatever they choose to point to, obviously haven't filled the empty space in their skull with even a tiny bit of honesty.

As a Catholic, I make no excuses for the abuse that happened in my Church. That said, this isn't a Catholic issue. It's a societal issue. Child sex abuse occurs EVERYWHERE in this society. Yes, it is a greater shame when it happens in churches or institutions that claim moral authority.

Here's a paragraph from the article Baptist Hide & Seek: "Baptist scholars confirm this: "The problem of clergy sexual abuse is not just a Catholic issue...Studies have shown no difference in its frequency by denomination, region, theology, or institutional structure." But while Catholics and most mainline Protestant denominations have developed national policies to deal with the problem, "decentralized denominations such as the Southern Baptist Convention...have no national policies" and "sexual misconduct is routinely covered up in these settings." Trull & Carter, Ministerial Ethics at p. 162 (2d ed. 2004)."

According to the article Baptist Identity: How It Masks Clergy Sex Abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention, the SBC doesn't keep records on clergy suspected of sexual abuse and has no process in place to warn congregants of reassigned clergy suspected of abuse.

I know a lot of good Baptists. I don't write this to be antiBaptist. I'm against child abuse. Wherever it occurs. And unfortunately it occurs in ALL denominations.

NaturalLaw said: every employee, catechist and volunteer in my diocese and every American diocese who deals as a representative of the Church with children and adults must receive mandatory safe environment training, be finger printed and a background check run. Policies and procedures prevent circumstances that might lead to abuse or even the opportunity for abuse. With additional processes and safeguards related to priests, I might add. Are you willing, bramps, to asks Baptists to take similar measures?
