How can any guy think this was biblical and go through with it?
The articles did say they were “troubled” so they were “easy to fool”?
One has to try hard to find enough Protestant Christian sexual abuse articles to post on FR in order to make some comparison with all the Catholic ones.
From their web site.
PCUSA - I'm not sure why this would be a career limiting event for him.
If a friend told me that he let a priest blow him to get rid of demons I think I would just stare and blink and then stare and blink and then punch him in the face.
You should be working at CNN. They can report a kid having his bike stolen in Canada and find a way to blame Trump. Here you a story about a terrible Protestant minister and of course you use it as and opportunity to attack Catholics.
If he were Episcopalian, this wouldn’t even be an issue. It would be a bonus.
That minister should be kicked out of the church and locked up.
Actually, his actions do not disqualify him from being a pastor in the PCUSA. A few yeares ago the PCUSA removed the requirements that pastors, elders and deacons be “faithful in marriage and chaste in singleness,” meaning it was ok to commit fornication or adultery or engage in other sexual immorality.
As an elder, that crossed the boundary for me and I left the denomination. Of course, now you have open homosexuality, same-sex “marriage,” and now they’re moving on to transgenderism.
I wouldn’t punch him, but I WOULD recommend a competent psychiatrist and/or a spiritual counselor at a more God-fearing, Bible-believing church.
Or maybe I would just have him recite P.T. Barnum’s “There’s a sucker born every minute” until he died.
cradle to grave
Erection to resurrection.
It’s not about Catholic and protestant. It’s about evil.
Why don’t they just take donations of gold jewelry with which to forge a large calf while they’re at it?
Plenty of people take what figures of authority in a church say at face value, often will battle to the death in defense of it without even looking it up.
Saw this at a church where a husband was told that his wife having sex with another man was a “holy union” and he should just “step aside”.
The person saying that was the head elder, and had told the wife that her marriage wasn’t valid in the eyes of that church as her husband wasn’t a member of their denomination and sex with others was magically not adultery as it somehow magically wasn’t sex.
So I’m guessing these guys figured “authority figure told me so” and bought it.
Don’t blame the victims. The minister is the evil, vicious one here.
“Its not about Catholic and protestant. Its about evil.”
You summed it up perfectly.
My word, that is not something I could allow myself to do.
The Bible is the authoritynot a grotesque, perverted elder of Satans church.
Bizarre!
