Yep !
Repeal XIX the only way to save this nation
You need to read this again. He was inappropriate with women not young boys.
Oh, well- that’s alright then.
(Do I really have to add the sarcasm tag again?)

Inappropriate messages to women is no where near as bad as molesting children.
Yes they do, but some people want to focus on the protestants to make up for that.
464,568 clergy in the US as of 2022.
It’s all about numbers.
With a population that large, you’ll get an occasional murder, child abuse, wife beating, child sexual, drug abuse, alcoholism, lots of illegitimate children, prostitution use, folks into weird kinks...
It’s all about the “rate.”
Pastors today. Con artists looking for Sunday 11-1 job. Leave me alone to pursue XYZ Monday to Saturday. Tight jeans and sneakers; wooden cross on leather around neck. Maybe a surfboard ‘on stage’. Graduate (or not) of Disgrace Theological Seminary. Hires metro sexual friend for praise team leader.
“Contemplating their actions, they learned only days later that Anthony was involved in even more conversations that were likewise not sexual but “excessively personally” and “overly familiar,” resulting in the church asking for his resignation.”
I’m confused. What, exactly, is the transgression? Not sexual... but “overly familiar”? If it’s not sexual, what’s the problem?
Bantering back and forth in a “not sexual” way is now verboten? Considering all of the ‘real’ transgressions going on within organized religion, I’m not quite getting what the issue is.
The person he was bantering with was not a minor, so it wasn’t a pedophile grooming a child. If it wasn’t sexual, sounds like they may be targeting this guy for another reason. Another reason why they want to get rid of him. Is he a Trump supporter, for instance?
I know the church is not supposed to be political, but these days everything is.
Just the women? It takes 2 to tango.
It is time consuming and difficult to get to the truth.
That they did it and canned him is excellent.
Yep! It's called the three "M's" -- Message, Money or Maidens.
