For you to make this argument requires excluding the data on the enabling and concealment of sexual misbehavior in the non-Catholic denominations and in the world, and, more seriously, the efforts in the non-Catholic world to declare perversion normal and good.

A little problem with that theory...It's called a lack of evidence...

For who knows how many years the defense of the Catholic church has been 'don't pick on us, other groups molest kids just as much as we do'...

Now the new twist now is, 'don't pick on us, other groups cover it up and hide the crime and shuffle their people around to cover it up as well'...

Well, in a word, that's not at all true...And that's why your church is in everyone's sights...

And that's a lousy job of trying to stick the Protestants into your immoral non-Catholic world...

What in the world are you talking about man?

So would you care to share with us your thoughts on Onanism? Do you, like your fellow anti-Catholic extremist Joycelyn Elders, think it should be taught to schoolchildren regardless of parental objection?

Or are you going to fail to answer the question as well, and let us draw our own conclusions about where Protestants really stand?

MY observation about data stands.

Two things have to be neglected: First the misguided advice of shrinks at the height of this atrocity. Second, and I readily admit that this is lousy data, of the cases of sexual misbehavior in the Episcopal Church of which I know (back in the 70's) -- which admittedly is not that many -- they were ALL buried right away, unless they hit the news before they hit the diocesan level. One perp was later made a bishop.

BUT it is important to admit that we have done a lousy job until recently.
