Protestant ministers generally do not abuse children. Their infractions pertain to having relations with women who are not their wives in their congregations.

Even still, if a Protestant minister were to have been accused of sexually abusing a child, the church would not hide nor protect him, as Roman Catholic churches do. They would turn him over to the police.

Rome just doesn’t get it.

"Protestant ministers generally do not abuse children."

Double horse hockey! How can you look yourself in the mirror or sleep well at night taking a position like that. Don't you realize that it is aiding and abetting the abuse of children by Protestant ministers by denying and covering for them?

***Even still, if a Protestant minister were to have been accused of sexually abusing a child, the church would not hide nor protect him...***

If a Protestant, or any other church, hid or protected a child abuser, how would you know about it? Your argument rebounds upon itself.
