You obviously weren’t on the threads at the time. A whole lot of people ignored that it goes on in other organizations preferring to believe it was only the Catholic Church which had the problem.
Your problem is that you missed most of the conversation. Anyone who was there knew what the statement meant. It didn’t ignore anything.

True, I’m commenting on this thread. I would have a similar reaction to anyone blaming Catholic doctrine for the problem. Still, why say it, except to get some sick pleasure out of a horrible situation.
Nobody in their right mind blamed rank-and-file Catholics, or Catholic doctrine for the molesters.

Oh, and I hope the bureaucracy of the CoE pays the same price for enabling this to continue as the Catholic church bureaucracy did.
In the US, I’m sure they will.
The solution is to exclude gays from the priesthood and any other position of power or leadership in the church. The Catholic church may actually succeed in this. The ECUSA has glorified and institutionalized gays in the organization, but really, they’re barely Christian (being charitable here) as it is.
That’s why the Catholic church will survive and the ECUSA will not.
