Was the pope blaming ‘anti-Catholics’ for the recent allegations a sadly predicable reaction?
No, Desiree, he’s stating the truth. The media has blown the Catholic sex scandal all out of proportion while ignoring the fact that Protestant ministers are far more likely to sexually abuse their parishioners than a Catholic priest. Slander and hatred sell newspapers and boost TV ratings, and that’s why this whole thing has been focused solely on Catholics. Edit: In case you missed this on a previous answer, Susanna, here it is again: a very small sample of the articles about sexual abuse in the SDA: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/4309 http://www.ceaseabuse.org/ The last article is about the organization that was founded solely to deal with sexual scandal in the SDA church. Seems Adventists have a habit of not reporting abuse allegations and sending the perpetrator to a new church to continue the cycle. Gee, it seems that the pot is calling the kettle black again
