I realize that - I’m sorry I wasn’t accusing. I’m a Protestant but believe if this had been a Catholic Priest, it would have been posted across the headline.

So engaging in more sexual impurity is how you gain sexual purity...sort of like saying the way to help someone with alcoholism is to get them drunk and become and alcoholic yourself to cure them.

What do you expect in a country that is run by a man and a group of idiots who think you can BORROW AND SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT!!

Thank you for saying that.

[MrEdd]

“Protestant” is a denomination in exactly the same way “foreign” is a nationality.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

True - I was pointing out I am not Catholic but do feel the Catholic bashers would have been on this like white on rice had it been a Priest.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You are welcome -

This wasn’t pedophilia, this was pederasty; sex with teenagers, not minors.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

What is the difference? Both are with minors - does the definition really matter?

[SuziQ]

True, both are minors, but pedophilia is the legal term for sexual activity with a pre-pubescent minor.

Little is said about the homosexual builtin urge to molest immature boys - it seems to be their nature

That is why old gays are the loneliest group of people, from what I hear.

[GeronL]

whatever.

It’s still criminal and barbarous.

Anyone looking at a minor in a sexual way should be shot.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Ok - but either way it is sick and wrong.

Here's the difference between how these crimes are handled in Protestant churches and in Roman Catholic churches.

In Roman Catholic churches, these pederast priests are defended, the crimes denied, the victims sworn to secrecy, and if the heat gets too great, these priests are shuffled from one unsuspecting parish to the next where they can continue to rape children. Some are even promoted.

The link given at the beginning of this article gives more details on how this case was handled by a Protestant church. Roman Catholics should read this and learn how to protect their children...

"The Rev. Lonnie Parton of Victory Fellowship Church said church leaders were stunned when four young men came forward with allegations against Girouex in February.

Once Parton learned of the allegations, he confronted Girouex and told him he needed to go to the police and make a confession. He did so on Feb. 16.

Get the difference? When vile accusations like this are made, the police are called in and people are arrested.

No stalling. No banal defenses which attack the victims all over again.

God help the children whose church's care more about the reputations of pederast priests than the well-being of its young.

MrEdd wrote: “Protestant” is a denomination in exactly the same way “foreign” is a nationality.”

And you responded: “True”

Yet you just told us you’re a Protestant. Strange that you’d agree with a snarky comment about your faith.

Most Protestants I know wouldn’t accept MrEdd’s definition.

[presently no screen name]

I’d say that applies for sure.

[ExGeeEye]

Well now you know at least two.

Methodist:Protestant::Swedish:Foreign.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

My point was that the “joke” was not funny nor flattering.

[org.whodat]

Not all nuts come from trees.

[Cronos]

Ah — no wonder the OPC and the PCA hides the large number of predator pastors almost as well as they hide the facts that they do not believe in Jesus Christ as God.
