The difference between Protestant churches and the RCC regarding sexual abuse by the clergy is striking and indicative of how the church is governed and what exactly is the nature of sexual sin.

In Protestant churches all charges are made public and the pastor is removed from the pulpit.

In the RCC accusations are shrouded in distrust of the accuser and denial of the transgressions while the priest is thoroughly protected, often being permitted to continue his sexual assault for decades in other parishes under the guise of the cloth.

Watch the recent, AA-winning documentary now on DVD, "Deliver Us From Evil."

Good points.

Won’t be watching such stuff.

Just reading the threat titles is enough to . . . beome ill over.

If you had actually read the threads and original articles, you would know that isn't true. And no, I am not going to look them up for you. The instances are fully discoverable for anyone searching for actual truth about protestant clergy sex abusers, but will no doubt remain a mystery to those in denial.

And that of course makes it all ok and allows protestants to feel all nice and clean and of course the victims then have nothing to complain about. < /sarcasm and shaking of head>

I hope you don’t get too much sand in your ears.
