https://letmetellyouthis.wordpress.com/tag/list-of-christian-evangelist-scandals/

the list is yuge!

the answer is because men run these institutions and God does not because of free will.

Every religion has a scandalous side, and it’s a shame.

But the Catholics do need to reign this nonsense in.

It has long been my opinion that the Catholic Church is nothing but a criminal organization that gets tax free status.

Did you notice that whenever the Pope comes out with a new liberal position liberals call him Pope Francis, but whenever it’s something shameful, it’s suddenly “the Vatican”?

Some Roman Catholic priests,as well as many Orthodox priests who pledge loyalty to the Pope,are married.The only solution to this is married priests.Of course that won't completely solve it but it will go a long way.It will very probably help the priest shortage as well.

And those of you who might shout "blasphemy"...save it,please.Those shouts will fall on deaf ears.

A priest who prefers girls over little boys...now that’s an oddity.

Meanwhile, there is a priest in prison in New Hampshire, Fr. Gordon McRae, who has been in prison for 22 years for allegedly molesting a boy. If he admitted guilt, he would be on the fast track for release, but he will not admit to committing a crime he didn't commit. Unless he is pardoned, paroled (unlikely), or gets a new trial, he will die in prison.

His accuser was a known criminal who bragged about his perjury to others, and accused Fr. McRae long after the alleged abuse took place. No evidence, other than the accuser's word, was ever presented in court.

Justice is not always served in this life.

Read his blog for more information, and pray for him.

It is their nature, it can not be changed just like a wild predatory animal, who has preyed upon humans, can not be turned loose in a park full of people.

I;m amazed that you can commit these crimes, admit then, and get "a year and a day" in prison. Looks like he was let off the hook by everybody, church and state.

He and his enablers need to face much more serious consequences. Yes, and his enablers, church and state, all of them.

Odd how they don’t put back the priests who steal large sums of money from the Church...

Father Sebastian Selvarajan, secretary of Bishop House, Ooty and spokesperson for the Diocese, told Hindustan Times that Jeyapaul was not given any job or assignment or reinstated as was being alleged. He has been simply given a residence, a permit to stay, that is all, he said.

I knew this was a click bait title. Its Yellow journalism at its finest. He's not reinstated or anything. So They've no idea what they're talking about.
