It’s not “like the Catholic church thing” in the way you are saying now either.
The Catholic Church tried to handle things in house. If there is somebody making a problem at a SCA event they simply call the cops out. So even in that respect your analogy falls apart.
i guess you’re not getting what I’m saying- people attending a church with a pedo priest who was attacking their kids without their knowledge or other people’s kids and knew nothing about it is what I’m talking about - not about the church leadership at the top conspiring to covering up- What i was corresponding to was the person claiming they never saw anything or heard of anything going on- and i said- yeah, well neither did people who’s pastor, unbeknownst to them, was a pedo in many cases- the abuse went on for years, and noone but the victims were aware of it- so no- the analogy doesn’t fall apart- you are reading into my response to the person-
[[You do not seem to be aware, but with the Catholic Church the actual priests of the church seduced young parishoners, and then the church covered for it and helped hide it from law enforcement.]]
Again- We’re not talking about systematic coveups by the churches that conspired to keep it secret- we’re talking about small 1 priest churches where noone in the church was aware of the problems- everyone being shocked to find out they had a pedo priest in their midst- - Yes, some larger churches the church leaders knew, other churches no, noone knew- the kids were threatened to keep quiet by the priest- or too ashamed to tell anyone- and the abuse went on for years with noone knowing but the pedo and the victims-
This is what i was referring to, responding to the person who said they knew nothing about the SCA having any kind of suspicious activity going on- the point was, just because they didn’t see or hear about it personally didn’t mean it wasn’t happening- just like in some churches where noone knew it was happening-
Again- you are reading more than i ever intended into my statements-
