Trust me you WILL find (simple google search) such cases in all denominations. The difference I have seen is the Prot pastors or ministers are pointed out, reported, prosecuted and doing time in the can.

I make no excuses for the process that shielded the perps from just prosecution. Thinking they could “solve” the problems, officials within the Church made foolish and criminal mistakes. The shame belongs on the individuals responsible, but not the community of Catholics.

Phil Robertson at 18 was involved with a 14 year old — something I find completely unacceptable; yet, a few here rationalized it as normal. I recall only one other poster being outraged by this unseemly tidbit, but I’m sure there were others. Nonetheless, rose colored optimism factored into the comments supporting Phil.

Rationalization can be complex and difficult to argue, but finding reliable statistics and news that shed better light on a dark subject is a good thing — for the stakeholders and others with objective intent.
