How
come the media hasn’t covered sexual abuse in Protestant churches? How
is it different from sexual abuse in the Catholic Church?
 s for the media, I don’t know.
Many persons in the media hate the Catholic Church
either because they’re anti-Christian liberals to begin with, or because
they’re Protestants who believe it’s
their Christian duty to hate Catholics, or because they have left the Church
and hate God as the result of something unfortunate
that happened to them.
As for sexual abuse, it’s
all the same no matter what the context: family, school, or church. Granted,
Catholic priests must be celibate, yet that
only means that they cannot marry. But all Christians—indeed all
humans—are subject to God’s love in
chastity, which forbids sexual activity that is not
open to procreation between a man and a woman within the indissoluble bond
of Holy Matrimony and family. So no matter how you look at it, child sexual
abuse, even if it is not a crime in all countries, is a mortal
sin everywhere. No one will escape God’s
judgment, and the standards by which we will be
judged are the same for everyone, whether in the Church or out of it, whether
faithful to it or protesting it.
No
advertising—no sponsor—just the simple truth . . .
