Andries, is it a language barrier or what?
Yes, they DID take child abuse as a yardstick with the Catholic Church and the church, albeit with some prodding required, DID admit it! Now there is hell to pay if there is even the "appearance" of wrongdoing, at least at the diocese here in Phoenix. That new bishop they brought in here is pretty hardnosed........ in fact, the wrongdoers are extremely fearful of him. A couple of priests that were embezzling were turned over to police here just a couple of weeks ago.
So what is your point? Stop throwing red herrings into the discussion. This board has nothing to do with the "other" churches..... only the church of rawat!
