No, I’ve never been banned.

I’ve never even been threatened to be banned.

I think you are pretty angry, and at the wrong person. You can look up Lutheran stuff (I am not a Lutheran) or other stuff if you want to.

I remember Ted Haggard being raked over the coals, although not convicted of anything. So he is another example, non-Catholic. I personally find Haggard reprehensible, and am not afraid to say so. I did however appreciate that his church board or whatever their position is removed him from office.

I have mentioned lots of other individuals, who have been very much assumed guilty of bad crimes, and are not Catholic. You seem to want to ignore all those. I don’t know why. You seem to think Roman Catholics are singled out for abuse on FR. I am sure they are indeed singled out sometimes by some, but others are singled out at other times by others. My goodness, check out some of the Mormon/anti-Mormon threads. And no, I’m not a Mormon.

I have no doubt that some people accused of child abuse are innocent, and I believe we all deserve a fair trial by a jury of our peers. But, if the accusation is covered up, so the DA doesn’t get to decide whether there is enough evidence to prosecute, there is a problem. I think the cover-up is the main problem in most of the RC church abuse cases.

I also think through adoptions, pro-life work, schools, orphanages, medical clinics, homeless shelters, etc., the RCs have done a lot more good than harm to kids. I commend them for their charity.

Then why are you unwilling to say the name?

What gives you the idea that I am angry at you? And what possibly gives you the idea that I don't like Lutherans?
