Recently the Roman Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Church have been in the news about sexual abuse. What I would like to learn is why Catholic priests, who supposedly know the Bible, commit sexual offenses against children? They know the scriptures about homosexuality especially the Bishops. Yet instead of turning them over to authorities, Catholic Bishops would pass offending priests to other parishes. Where is the logic to that? What it did was to keep all this mess in the Catholic house only. After a Time it was revealed through the media and then the Catholics had to Scurry about coming up with some kind of excuse why they had not reported this to the authorities in the first place. They literally got caught with their pants down and didn’t know what to say. The Catholic hierarchy is concerned with the cost to this nightmare, but not as concerned with the children themselves.

The Southern Baptist Church is reacting to the tragedy faster. The authorities have been brought in right away. For a time Jehovah’s Witnesses also had sex abuse problems within their congregations. There is wide care speculation that the Mormons missionary program have some more problems. The two missionaries are together with each other for 2 years all the time. The Southern Baptists will be facing this head on unlike the Catholics who hid the offenders for years and actually passed them on to other parishes knowing full well they would offend again. It’s almost as if the Roman Catholics had no moral compass to deal with this issue. Remember when the devil knocks at the churches door it should be slammed in his face. That’s how most of the public handles the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Why didn’t Roman Catholic parents bring this to the authorities themselves to protect their children? Another good question. And why are Catholics dragging their feet on this issue? Maybe they like Satan knocking at their door?
