See this Pravda investigative report for some balance - http://english.pravda.ru/print/society/sex/112790-to_confuse_wood_with_trees-0
Do you always believe what the NYSlimes, Daily Kos, DU, American Progress etc., report?
FYI: This thread is actually about Protestant Pastors and their Insurance Statistics on child molestation’s.
Other people do it also is not a valid defense.
Especially by those claiming to be God’s representatives on earth.
“Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believed in me, it were better for him that millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”
A higher authority, IMO, than insurance companies or Pravda.
Pravda??? And you are arguing that Pravda is more “objective” than the NYTIMES, etc?
I’d put them both in the falsehood camp.
My concern isn’t protestant vs. orthodox vs. catholic to find out who sins less.
The Catholic Church has a PR nightmare on its hands. Some of it is true. You can quibble about how much. I am not interested in that. Unless you and I were privy to the internal records, we won’t know. We do know some of the claims are true. That is the point.
If you are unwilling to concede that point, you are not being any more objective than the news outlets you criticize. I’d prefer to stand apart from them and make a decision on my own. My understanding is that some of the claims are true.
One is too many.
