Can there be any doubt they are a cult? Evil! Just evil!
Riverside police have arrested the assistant pastor of an evangelical church on suspicion of having sex with a child. The Rev. Anthony Tyrone McComb was arrested Dec. 16 and arraigned Monday on a charge of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14. McComb is being held at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning. Bail has been set at $1 million. McComb is an assistant pastor at the New Jerusalem Christian Center in Riverside. The district attorney's office said the charges are not related to his work at the church. In 2007, McComb published a book, "Dating With Purpose."
Non-Catholic Clergy Abuse & Crimes
Anyone know how much was paid out to the victim of the above sex abuse or the others documented at the link?
No Catholic will ever defend the indefensible. Most of the sex abuse that took place dates back to the 50's and earlier, long before JPII. I would ask you, however, what is being done in non-Catholic communities to stop predatory sex abuse of children? This is not limited to the Catholic Church.
Sex Abuse of Children by Protestant Clergy.
The Catholic Church here, through its bishops in the USCCB, have implemented a program to prevent future occurrences. This includes all members of the community who come in contact with children, from janitors in the schools to volunteers who teach children at the parish level. We all are subjected to fingerprinting and a police background check. We are also required to attend classes on how to identify sexual predators and what actions to take. This is possible because of the centralized nature of the Catholic Church. It is also the reason why the media have been able to focus a laser beam on us. This is not possible in the non-Catholic denominations where there is no one to take responsibility.

Worse still, is the sex abuse of children in the education system.

And then there are the camp counselors, Big Brothers of America and the list goes on and on. There is plenty of guilt to go around.

You want to talk about evil, this guy is a non-Catholic just like yourself, CynicalBear.
(He is evil personified.)
Do you want us to declare that all non-Catholics like yourself are exactly the same as this fellow non-Catholic in this picture, simply because you are all non-Catholics?
(By the way, there are plenty more evil non-Catholics where that guy came from.)
