Color me confused. (Again).
No, it isn’t and I never said that. Your twisting of my words is perfect LDS tactic, though.
Ken made a comment that at least they left a church that abuses boys, and I replied with a statement that said it happens in Mormonism too. So they aren’t any better off in that respect.
However, theologically they are worse off as Mormons than as Catholics.
Hey, who was the Boy Scout abuser of 17 boys in this case? (A Mormon BS leader) See: Boy Scouts sex files now evidence in Oregon lawsuit
Excerpt from that article: Attorneys...won the release of files from 1965-85 to help them make the case in a $14 million lawsuit against the Boy Scouts filed by a 37-year-old Oregon man. He was sexually molested in the early 1980s by assistant Scoutmaster Timur Dykes, who was convicted three times between 1983 and 1994 of sexually abusing boys, most of them Scouts.
...testimony from a bishop for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responsible for a Scout troop of church members suggested the Scouts never provided leaders with training about spotting abuse or preventing it. In a video deposition, Gordon McEwen said he tended mostly to his church duties...He was also vague about his recollections of conversations with Scoutmaster Earl Wiest about Dykes. McEwen said he stepped up his involvement when the mother of a scout complained in January 1983 her son may have been abused. McEwen said he confronted Dykes, who admitted abusing 17 boys and provided a written list of names. But a retired police officer who investigated the abuse report testified Friday that McEwen never told police about the list....McEwen admitted he never turned over the list to police. But he said he personally contacted the parents of all 17 boys on the list before calling a state meeting of the church to "disfellowship" Dykes, or limit his church involvement, and counseled him to "repent of his errors..."

So here's this Lds bishop; and he has a list of 17 sexual abuse victims within the Scouts supplied by the perpetrator, an assistant scoutmaster, and he never supplies the list to law enforcement???
And then he "counseled him to 'repent of his errors...'"
Say what? He "counseled him to 'repent of his errors...'"???
"Errors"???
17 abuse victims???
Some probably abused multiple times.
And he called what this pedophile perp did "errors???"
