I just happen to disagree it exist at any different level than in any other "industry"..


"Industry?" It's a freakin' church for cryin' out loud! The b@st@rds are supposed to stand for something Godly! The youth are supposed to be able to trust them!


If you can't trust a man who supposedly committed his life to God, than who can you trust?


Death was too good for this scumbag!


Jesus said, "You are either with me, or against me." You can't be "with" Jesus and promoting the cover up of pedophiles at the same time...and it's still going on!

I've never said differently.

I stand by my reference to "industry" in regard to this issue. As wrong as the cover-up and protection of these despicable acts is, it's no different than illegal acts covered up by any other "business" except that it happens to be a religious denomination.

There was an article a couple of years ago where the reporter actually went through the police reports of sexual assault complaints against members of the clergy. Ministers and Rabbis had more complaints filed against them than Catholic priests. I'm not sure of the name of the paper, but it was a Denver paper.
