The Catholic Church doesn’t have a monopoly on pedophilia. Unfortunately, The Southern Baptist convention of churches have a history of pedophilia and sexual abuse and covering it up, as do Sovereign Grace Churches, and probably any other “corporation” of churches that you look into. That’s the problem, these are what I believe to be massive “religious institutions/corporations” not churches.
I don't disagree with this.
The main difference is when a Southern Baptist gets caught committing pedophilia, they get turned over to the local authorities and punished for their crimes. In the case of the Roman Catholic Church, the offending priest often gets a one way ticket to another city or even a totally different country, and, historically, has continued the abuse.
I wish that were true, unfortunately, I know first hand they do not report to the authorities. Some do, and I think it’s perhaps getting better with individual churches than it was in the past, but that hasn’t historically been the case. Do a deep dive, go down the rabbit hole, and then see if you have the same opinion. 🤷🏼♀️ I know more now than I ever wished to about this subject, but now that I know, I can never not know it.
I know for a fact there are going to be cases where an individual Protestant church covers up misdeeds, but I also know what happens when the victims report it to the authorities or even to the regional or national chapters of that denomination.
I haven't seen a single case of a Protestant minister being relocated by his church to another city in order to evade pedophilia charges. And with that being said, if there is, they are just as evil as the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
