You forgot “If you don’t *demand* these pastors step down immediately, you’re no better than them!” Or “If you continue going to that church (instead of joining the one true religion....mine....) then you’re a child molester too!”
Mrs. Prince of Space
Different churches are organized in different ways. The Catholic Church is pretty much a single entity, being the one true church and all, and membership in one is membership throughout, if I understand it.
Baptists are quite different. Very independent, almost anybody can claim to be one (Westboro Baptist being an extreme example), and there’s no organization to stop someone from forming their own “baptist” church. So telling someone to “quit the Baptist Church” because of something another Baptist Church pastor did would be meaningless.
Plus, with no real organization to speak of, you can’t really blame the “church heirarchy” for enabling a cover-up, because there is no church heirarchy to help cover up anything.
There are protestant churches that have such a heirarchy — but it’s not “baptist”.
