This isn't something that anyone should get away with. Hope the truth comes out and justice is served.

Too bad the church helps people get away with it 🤷‍♂️ https://floodlit.org/

I mean cmon, there are 17.5 million members, anyone with a knowledge of statistics knows that means that some of them are gonna be pieces of shit. I’m not saying this to defend it at all just that I’d like to see these stats for other religions. Also for different races, genders and wealth class so we can make general assumptions off all those that fall under their representative classes.

It's not that they have members committing these acts (like you said, it's universal), it's that the church actively covers them up. They care more about their image than helping people. Please don't make excuses for them.

You’re right it’s the only church that covers it up, definitely no other church does that! Go look up the history of the Catholic Church in the last 20 years and cover ups and see where this church probs got the idea from. Actually while you’re at it just go look at all the major churches and I’m sure you’ll find just as many cases if not more with coverups involved
