The Catholics are protected by the church, transferred to another location to escape investigation and prosecution. The Baptist’s turn their criminals in for prosecution. Do you see the difference? Hint: Catholic Church is molester enablers.

Did you even read anything beyond the title? Maybe the very first sentence?

"Hundreds of leaders and volunteers within Southern Baptist churches across the nation have been accused of sexual misconduct against young churchgoers for decades - many of them quietly returning to church roles even after being convicted for sex crimes."

Also, so much for the claim that only the Catholic Church didn’t report such crimes and moved pastors from parish to parish instead.

I must admit I’m surprised by this. I honestly was starting to think that maybe this (covering up such crimes and moving the offenders around) was only a problem in the Church. It was paralyzing actually a true trump card for the anti-Catholic critics.

Maybe now though we can all acknowledge this isn’t a problem for just one denomination but a problem of fallen humanity. Without having read the rest of the thread that’s my hope at least.

Paradoxically so.

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that the root of this issue lies in the increased sexualzation of our culture in every aspect, in ads in print and on television, in movies, at work, and of course driving it all is pornography.

It’s all rotten to the core, stemming from the sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s, that freed stigmas associated not only with use of porn but also sex before marriage, and of course homosexuality itself.

When the sexual revolution divorced the purpose of sexual union from its purpose (procreation), and made it just another commodity to sell, either directly through pornography, or indirectly through the sale of birth control, that’s when all these perversions started cropping up in greater and greater numbers. In every walk of life. It’s not just a coincidence.
