I fear it will turn the thread toxic, but you asked for it.
That list is not comprehensive as it doesn't include all the offenses worldwide and neither is it up to date. It will at least give you the idea that we aren't the only ones that have this shame to contend with. It exists everywhere, sadly.
Okay you found it. Some links to crimes that protestant ministers committed. If it wrong for them why isn't it wrong for Catholic priests too?
Just one example from the link provided in 64:
"An associate pastor of a San Fernando Valley chapel was sentenced to 32 months in prison on Tuesday for failing to register as a sex offender. Ilger, a former second-grade teacher, was convicted in 1988 of molesting four students in his San Luis Obispo classroom. After being released from jail, Ilger and his family moved to Los Angeles, where he took a position with Hope Chapel of the Valley in Canoga Park. "We've lived and learned a painful lesson," the Rev. Jeff Fischer of Hope Chapel said outside court. Fischer has said he and about 30 church elders knew that Ilger had molested young girls before he was hired."
Please, let's stop the cross-Tiber bashing and admit that this behavior isn't limited to any one group, that the behavior is wrong no matter who does it/who enables it, and that the offenders should be locked safely away from the rest of us.
Thank you for your post #64, which provides the link to a website, which lists all the Protestant Ministers that they know about who have either been accused of or been found guilty of abusing children sexually...
I am so sick and tired of folks who point fingers at the Catholic Church, and say, see there, how bad those Catholics are, they allowed their priests to continue to molest children, and did nothing about it, until it was brought more into the public domain...
Its sad, yet informative to see, that child sexual molestation, knows no bounds when it comes to which religion has more molestors than another religion...
Lets just wake up here, and realize that evil and dangerous adults will always find a way to find access to children, regardless of what religions they profess, or in which religions, they are leaders...these types of people will worm their way into every single religion and every single church...
And no, I am not Catholic...just sick and tired of seeing the Catholics pointed out for some evil deed, that undoubtedly goes on in every other religion as well...
You link, proves what I am saying..thanks for that...
