Please provide a link for me okay? If I remember correctly, for most social worker types, reporting abuse was mandatory upon condition of employment.
Still doesn't answer why the Church ignored Romans 13:1.
Dear marajade,
If you want to go researching, go help yourself. I'm not going to do the legwork for you.
"If I remember correctly, for most social worker types, reporting abuse was mandatory upon condition of employment."
It's the law. Now, at least. It wasn't always.
"Still doesn't answer why the Church ignored Romans 13:1."
Actually, it vitiates one of the premises of your false statement. As well, others have adequately addressed most of the other false premises therein.
