    These people are lying. Y'all believe anything that comes out of someone's mouth nowadays! Especially when it comes to SA. These are disgruntled members that didn't get something they wanted! The son is definitely lying. They came up with these lies in order to get paid. Look at him… In and out of prison!

    Crazy how the catholic church is still targeted and bashed as though they are the only church or religion plagued with this type of behavior when all religions are at fault at some capacity of sexual misconduct.

    This has been happening with Catholic priests for GENERATIONS. If it was discovered that they were sexually molesting children, the family would be paid off and the priest moved to another parish, so he could set up shop again as an unpunished pedophile. The Catholic Church is worth BILLIONS, so "settling" with parents is no big deal. We don't even know what the statistics are, but it's no longer thought to be "one in a million". The movie Spotlight covered this, but kind of went underground again. Too uncomfortable, I guess. And God only knows how many children were abused and were too terrified to speak out, or DID speak out and were punished for making such a horrible accusation. Victims are often accused of ruining a person's reputation by speaking out, which is why so many of them don't. And in no way, shape or form do I believe this kind of abuse has been "stopped" by greater awareness. I am sure it still goes on (and on and on).

    How can people listen to the c**p by pastors. They are nothing but cheats. They take mo ey from the gullible believers and be abused by the pastors. How can people stay in that religion even after seeing many horrors in it?

    IF people wouldn't be so lazy and stupid and ignorant and just read their Bible they would know these lazy fat bois that wanna boss us around and get paid for it are to be avoided that they may feel ashamed or atleast that's what Paul an apostle of JESUS CHRIST stated in 1 Thessalonians chapter 2 and 2 Thessalonians chapter 3, but because people won't learn the Scriptures they get spiritually screwed over by anyone, I don't feel sorry for the deceived, it's 100% their fault they won't study God's word.

    So unfortunate that he hasn't been held accountable. God will handle that one way or another. Pray all of the families experience healing and freedom.

    It is not focused on enough that certain branches of the Christian Church act like cults. They are to do with power and abuse and not love. They also can threaten people with hell if they choose to leave or tell about abusive experiences in the cult church. Many of these churches are in the USA but not all. Tragically Christianity like all the major world religions is a victim of its own success. Very often (but not always) the wrong people become priests and religious leaders. Many (but not all of them) are just as if not more interested in power and control than they are about love, humbleness and genuine spiritual support.

    It's crazy we forget a lot of the warnings of false prophets and even the devil himself knows the bible word for word.
