So the actions of one individual are another individual's "fruits"?
There is no church, even the Reformed Church, that is free of similar scandals.
Predators - whether they are Catholic or Reformed or Jewish - seek out opportunities to prey on children. And, like most sociopaths, they are very good at deceiving normal, decent people.
When they are caught, like most sociopaths, they know exactly what to say: they express remorse and plead for forgiveness and they cite the Scriptures their superiors teach as arguments that they should be forgiven.
Predators can infiltrate the most devout communities, and they do so by depending on the Christian charity of the community's members to give them the benefit of the doubt, to avoid spreading gossip, to assume the best of all people, etc.
No other church or denomination can compare in sheer number or cover ups
All men are sinners, but unlike priests we do not claim to act as Christ..
True and well put.
