    Abstinance is unnatural . . . . . Which is why it would take extraordinary discipline and fortitude to maintain it for a lifetime
    It is obvious that alot of the 'faithful' are not that extraordinary
    In fact . . .. it seems to go beyond that . . . . . They seems to be vile and evil

    Them getting a little action is not the problem
    The ways and means they go about doing it and what they do after is . . . . . ..
    They are fundamentally flawed and immoral beings it seems. . . .
    maybe more so than the norm

    People who should not have any level of power

    One More Thing . . . . These organizations are incapable of self policing
    Time for other agencies to step in

    Rape has been more about a power thing than purely about sexual animalistic desire. But if you're a sex fiend...and male, what better way to make your bones out of it than to join a church?

    Spread the Gospel! Silence is a sign of your lack in faith!

    Seriously though, our leaders use to talk the things listed in the article to convince voters the moral reasons for invading countries in the middle East and Africa.

    But when it comes to our backyard... this is sacred!! This is their problem to solve and theirs alone!!! PERSECUTION!!

    These types of things come as no surprise to me. Churches are human institutions made up of humans with human failings.

    The perpetrators and those who assist them should be held accountable. The institutions shouldn't cover it up. If they do, they should suffer the consequences the law provides both criminally and civilly.
