I have not revealed my church affiliation with a purpose to that and I wouldn’t encourage others to do so. Catholics wouldn’t need to because we generally can tell just by the dialogue...and you can tell those who are not catholic equally as much. But if people were harping on me to reveal this I would certainly not reveal and wonder why this is such an issue for those doing so.
I’ve not responded to your statics because I don’t put allot of weight into those. The fact is we agree no matter where the abuse occurs..it should be acted on immediately...right?
The Catholic church is clearly in the wrong here. It is being disobedient to Scripture among the clergy, and any Catholics who place themselves under that authority are being disobedient as well.
That account you gave in post 1,241, shows the disobedience to Scriptural mandate by a whole congregation. And Catholics wonder why people don't want to go back after they leave.
