MB: This is not proof, since the victims’ groups are nowing targeting the Southern Baptists, unless you are labeling the Baptists with also trusting the clergy without question.

FK: It IS proof that the institution is very powerful over its laity. ....... I have no doubt that there are Southern Baptist preachers out there who are pedophiles. However, I am totally unaware of any allegations on an institutional level.

One correction FK, it's not a problem with pedophiles. The children abused were not infants. They were typically post pubescent males. It was a problem with predatory homosexuals.

The Southern Baptists are less likely to be hurt as badly for several reasons. The clergy is not permeated by homosexuals. Our clergy marry and fewer homosexuals become members of our clergy. The other reason is our decentralized structure makes us a less target rich environment for the lawyers. It's awful hard to collect million dollar judgments from churches that only have a couple hundred thousand in assets.

Every time someone tries to smear Protestant churches with the same lecherous brush as the RCC, I have to laugh. No organization is perfect, but no one even comes close to the homosexual pedophilia among the RC clergy and the tragic scandals and broken lives that have ensued as the layers of deceit have been peeled back to expose the truth.

$660,000,000 in one day paid out by the Los Angeles Archdiocese to settle sexual assault cases.

That amount of money is almost incomprehensible. And yet it was a two-day story and it's over.
