According to the “Washington Times” and Pew Research and thousands of Evangelical churches, “Evangelical” is indeed a denomination.

I’m not surprised Roman Catholics know so little about Protestant denominations.

26% Evangelical and 24% Roman Catholic.

24% and falling.

PRIESTS ACCUSED of SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WHO WORKED As MILITARY CHAPLAINS or CHAPLAINS at VA HOSPITALS
* * * * * * *

“This page presents a preliminary list of accused priests who have worked as military chaplains and chaplains at Veteran’s Administration hospitals.

It has been common practice for bishops and superiors of religious orders in the United States to use chaplaincies in the armed forces as a convenient place to send priests who have molested children.

As a result, servicemen have been sexually assaulted, the children of soldiers have been abused, and children visiting a parent or relative at a VA hospital have been endangered.

A priest’s time in the military often ends with a transfer back into a parish, where parishioners know nothing of their new priest’s sexual history, and the priest can use his military career in grooming new victims.

The preliminary list on this page provides the names of 95 priests accused of sexual abuse who have worked as military chaplains and/or VA chaplains, with information on their military service and links to articles.

Our 95 is a small fraction of the true total.

Yet when Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien of Baltimore, who ran the Archdiocese for the Military Services in 1997-2007, was asked in 2004 to give an account of sexual abuse in his chaplain ranks, he could count only 2 offending priests.”
