None of this would have happened if Methodist ministers were allowed to marry a man, er, a woman, er.....
What is true is that this minister does not have a true calling to be a minister. Therefore, they must be removed. That won’t take place, because their denomination (my own) is in chaos.
It is also true that any priest who begins abusing boys or girls should never have become a priest in the first place, and additionally, without a true calling from God, they NEVER would have kept any celibacy vow that they mouthed with their lips.
In that sense, the life of laity would have been better for them. That life would have provided for a legal sexual outlet, although for paedophiles, marriage is no hindrance.
