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.

Your information is at least 30 years old.

“The Baptist’s turn their criminals in for prosecution.”

That’s what I’ve observed. If this happens in a Baptist church the minute it’s been confirmed, that preacher is out in a skinny minute and turned over to law enforcement. A violater never is shuffled off to another church.

The reason, in part, could be that there’s no organization to do the “shuffling”. Baptist churches are independent in that a pastorate is decided between a pastor and a local church. No organization assigns preachers to their ministries.

Even though SBC is an organization, it doesn’t assign pastorates. (I am not SBC, but have attended SBC churches in the past. Never joined.)

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."
