So can we say from this that only Catholic sex abuse stories are to be published on FR? Is that your point?
As for "posting whatever accusations they can find", this story has been all over CNN and the other major news outlets all day. It's hard to get away from. It is big news. There was no need to go digging for it. The only reason I posted it was because it was nowhere to be seen in the Religion Forum. Surprising, no?? I'd have thought those who've built a track record posting Catholic stories would have broken this. But no. This is not some obscure story kicking around the blogs. It concerns a very high profile megachurch pastor and apparently nobody really wants to know about it, including you.
As for "being on a quest to rehab the Catholic Church", the Church has no need of rehab. It's not a corporation whose mission depends on public relations. It's coped with scandals for 2,000 years and will continue to do so. I post Catholic news, almost exclusively. Good and bad. However, I am more than happy to rebut some of the tripe which gets posted about the Catholic Church around here.
If you think I'm on a quest, I challenge you to post a link to any previous stories I've posted of Protestant hanky panky. Good luck with sorting through all the Catholic news I post. You might learn something while you're reading it.
I'll wait.
Thanks for posting this.
My feeling is just like the military, all churches have been targeted by the gay lobby for the one and only purpose.
To destroy them.
If they can get churches to fight among themselves in the process, so much the better as its cheaper and takes less resources.
You will wait long, this is not the first time this sort of thing has come up.
And for what point, exactly? What is the point of (PICTURES) in the OP? Has there been a trial?
Maybe last yr I had a mulitpage discussion with, I’ll say, 3 devote Catholics who cited a study based on the mid 80’s to 2000 comparing the Catholic Priest sexual abuse cases to Protestant accusations and the gist of it was, “see, Protestant Churches have an even worse problem! the Southern Baptist Convention will not start a database of the accusations because there are soo many of them”!
To what end? “They are doing it too”?
And exactly when has CNN ever been considered even fair, let alone quotable in the Religion Forum?
