And then they have the NERVE to *consecrate* the host, lifting it up in their hands, believing that they are turning the host into the body and blood of Jesus, with those same hands that molested those little boys. How is that not worse than others doing it? How are teachers and scout leaders far more
guilty of crime than that priest?

the Catholic church did not handle the situation as well as should have been expected, but they've certainly gotten a handle on it and now

the effecacy of a sacrament does not depend on the state of sin which the minister of that sacrament is in

Handle on it?

Allowing molesters of kids to do what the Catholics hold up as one of the most important, Holy things it does? Allow them to do THAT while "in a state of sin?" The sin of molesting children in the most vile base sexual way?

Christians churches would NEVER let anything close to that to happen.

For shame.

Example of an unacceptable answer:

*but* that happens much more in Protestant churches.

The sin of molesting children in the most vile base sexual way No, the church does not allow those that she knows are in a state of sin to do much of anything.

"handle on it" of course, as you know, means taken steps to assure that it doesn't happen again.

that it" happens far more often in protestant churches" statement means that you are living in a glass house and should be very careful when casting stones.
