If you think finding a sex scandal in an evangelical church not even involving minors with no cover up excuses the systematic evil in the RCC that goes all the way to the top in Rome knock yourself out. No one said all protestant churches are perfect but that in no way excuses or lessens what is going on in your church. I don’t understand how so many of you can defend such evil but that’s on you. In our denomination any such scandal would result in the immediate defrocking of the pastor and wholesale change at the top of the congregation. Not reassigning the guilty party to an unsuspecting congregation
It’s interesting the behavior of certain RCC here. They cannot contain their glee at finding sin in another but refuse to see it or denounce it in their own fold. I take no joy in what is happening to your denomination but mourn for how it brings dishonor to the name of Christ. I sincerely hope your hierarchy repents and cleans house. The same as any congregation or system should deal with sin.
The reality is that now even Evangelical churches are getting rocked with scandals as well. Have to repent and clean also .
“If you think finding a sex scandal in an evangelical church not even involving minors with no cover up excuses the systematic evil in the RCC ...”
I get it now.
This person, CondoleezzaProtege, is posting all this agenda driven stuff from leftist media. I didn’t know why.
CondoleezzaProtege, there’s no reason to be defensive, they hate the Catholics and Protestants and will try to smear all of us.
Perfect response. Thank you. I’m tired of the gloating about others acting in isolation by those who should be repenting of the organized disgrace and criminality in their own back yard.

It is sad that the most recent exposure of widespread sexual abuse of boys has results in a competition btwn Catholicism and evangelicals of who is worse, but if you want to compare what Catholic actually attest to versus evangelicals then there is plenty of data .
The present issue is not only sexual abuse, but also the manner of it, and the cover up and manner and degree of resistance when accused, and .of restitution. My focus has been on the homosexual abuse, which i think is most harmful.

The same as any congregation or system should deal with sin. Being mindful of the Lord's words against duplicity. one thing all should agree on is that in any case of accusation ( even if not the extreme matters of these cases) we need to first ask ourselves if we are in degree or way guilty of what is being charged, including covering up sin, or not confessing to others how we have transgressed against them in some way without them knowing it. I think i may have some left to do myself.
Finally, a grown up in the room!
