You know this will be the same argument given as the sins are called out on judgement day.....”But I was not as bad as...” and Christ will say “I never knew you “
I think you mistake my argument.
I accuse members of my priesthood for some of the vilest actions possible.
I acknowledge that my clerical leadership failed miserably in their response.
I accept that my leadership has belatedly taken the strongest actions, and leads the clerical world now in the protection of the potential victims.
I only ask that before the critics from other denominations attack mine, they look within their own and acknowledge that theirs are not pure. This is not in any way a defense of what evil people did within my denomination.
I think there’s a parable about that somewhere...
