Just keep living in that dream world where ministers and their flock are living unblemished lives in which no child or young adult is ever abused or hurt. Just believe that those butch women ministers are not radical lesbians who worship Gaia but, in fact, follow the Bible religiously. And those divorced gay Protestant priests and ministers are just men who have irreconcilable differences with their “spouses” - rather than one partner was probably caught out too many times at a rest station in New Jersey.

Just keep living in that dream world where ministers priests and their flock are living unblemished lives in which no child or young adult is ever abused or hurt. Just believe that those butch women ministers nuns are not radical lesbians who worship Gaia but, in fact, follow the Bible Catholic church religiously. And those divorced vow of celibacy breaking gay Protestant Catholic priests and ministers are just men who have irreconcilable differences with their “spouses” - rather than one partner was probably caught out too many times at a rest station in New Jersey are "sinners" and "only human just like the rest of us (which is a real indictment against the Catholics who own those priests in their admission of what's in their heart)

Just keep pretending that the Catholic church has a spotless history, that it has never done anything wrong, that it never dealt wrongly with those priests who did molest little boys, that it never turned a blind eye to those situations, that it never tried to intimidate people into silence by threatening them with their eternal salvation, that its leaders were never immoral, that it never compromised on sin......

Of course, you completely misread my piece. I was again, saying for the people who write here to look to their own house and clean it up before attacking others. And your houses are in bad shape, as well.

Both of you stop attacking other church organizations. Both traditions have pluses and minuses and have made vast contributions to mankind; that's why I asked for reliable statistics on the problem areas, because stats are dry and objective.

Every church is made up of mere mortals. If any of us were perfect, we would not still be here on earth, striving for the "death to self" that marks the Christian. See post 239.
