Nor is it illogical to include all those in the membership who are aware of those sins who look the other way or deny the sin even took place.

I agree with that. Even the pope agrees with that; he lamented the awful thing done to them when he met with many of them someplace or other recently.

If there are those denying that the sin took place, then they probably also are looking for a UFO to come take them away real soon.

I repeat, though, the crimes of a member or of a minister are no more the crimes of the remaining members any more than an individual crime by a soldier indicts the entire military.

The point is, x, that this particular hierarchy is riddled with this kind of sin which destroys children, families and faith.

Do members have a responsibility to leave a church that destroys its children?

Just a warning from a FRiend:

Do not agree with me. It appears to upset some people around here.

Thank you for this post.

It’s common sense—something that isn’t always in evidence here.
