Would it surprise you that two other churches, the SBC and a church by the name of Willowcreek were both hit with sexual abuse issues.

Kid you not.

The SBC has not been hit with sexual abuse accusations. The SBC has been hit with accusations that respected leaders recommended (in the 60s) a woman to stay with an abusive husband. And the same guy admitted men notice when a beautiful teen girl walks by - as I do, at 60. I don’t drool over them. But I notice!

As the saying goes, you can’t prevent a bird from landing on your head, but you can prevent it from building a nest there...

I’m 100% certain that among the 45,0000 member churches in the SBC, there has been sexual abuse. But it is not systemic and it doesn’t involve higher church leaders covering things up BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HIGHER CHURCH LEADERS IN THE SBC. Each congregation is autonomous. Each one does its own hiring & firing, and no one can transfer anyone anywhere.

It also rarely involves homosexuality, although it SOMETIMES does.

These incidents in a few scattered prot/evang churches unconnected to one another do not constitute the same level of deeply entrenched and institutionalized scandal in the RCC at all. Not at all. There are perverts in every walk of life, and that is no surprise. It is the response to evidence of perversion that matters. The RC has failed miserably at that since the infiltration by the communists in the 60s. Face it and demand change, and let the prots worry about their own churches.
