If this happened, it was immoral and wrong - always.

...worth noting that this "megachurch" is way behind the abuse of just one roman catholic priest in one parish...

So based on volume of incidents we can determine which “churches” are better than others? Jesus says to come out of theses whitened sephulcres and join the True Church, which isn’t found in a building or denomination.

Article cites 400 SBC pastors/staff convicted/plead guilty with regards to 700 victims in the past 20 years. Those kinds of numbers run well past of the point of “well, at least it’s not as bad as the RCC” being a reasonable response.

And my understanding is that the SBC is just a confederation of churches where individual sites can come and go more or less at will? That sounds to me like it would be easier to hide and shuffle creeps than in a centralized, bureaucratic monolith like the RC. where everyone’s assignments and movements can be traced back to the central office, as it were. And this all says nothing about even more decentralized churches and other denominations.

People should be well past feeling any level of defensiveness when their brand comes up in this sort of situation. It’s disgusting what has gone on and all signs point to this being systemic throughout organized Christianity. RICO laws will probably be used to rip out into the light what went on in the RC in the near future. Once they get the ball rolling, groups like the SBC will be next. Can’t say I’m sorry about it either. The foxes have been hiding what happened in the henhouse for decades, now the wolves are on them. Too bad, too sad.
