IF this were my church, my elders wouldn't sweep it under the rug.

There is not one church that has had no sexual abuse of children and swept it under the rug. Not unless you worship at home and not in a community of some sort.

You see it in every denomination...so, why is the Catholic Church always the one that gets the most coverage and the most negative press? The number of incidents may be greater but are the figures greater, percentage-wise? Churches are for the sick and for the sinners, among others; we sick & sinners must now heal our Churches.
