What do you suppose we do with the Protestants who are "married" and still "abuse" children? Some say it's the celibacy air of the RCC and yet many married Protestant Clergy abuse children. I guess Satan has his roots in all religions. There is a big coverup going on here with married Protestant Ministers abusing Children. What ordain happen to them during the Rapture?726 PROTESTant MINISSTERS do by CHILDRENCatholic bashing and pedophile priests Minister Rapes Teen Sex scandals also affect Protestant clergy U. S. Protestants also facing sex do by scandals Expert: Frequency of abuse by Protestant clergy may equal that of Catholic priests Accusations filed against NY ministers A 14-year-old girl in advance care is raped and impregnated by Deacon Stephen Andrews of the Advent Christian Church in Kennebunk. Maine a trusted evaluate. She gives birth. Andrews gets 5 years in prison. 3 of them suspended despite the protests of the prosecutor. Salvation Army head William Douglas is convicted of molesting sodomizing and sexually terrorizing young Indian boys in a village in British Columbia. Douglas was acquitted of similar charges in 1985; the adjudicate said he could not accept that a minister would lie. Born-again Delaware preacher William J. Keichline. Sr is commended by the legislature for running Mission of compassionate ministry for the homeless. As a landlord he assaults and rapes a girl for 3 years starting when she is 7 threatening to evict her family if she tells. He gets eight 20 year prison terms for assail bondage and child pornography. Included in the study were prominent clergy and evangelists who had made names for themselves through special ministries or "good works."The profile of the typical minister charged with molesting children: a 45-year-old man (ages ranged from 24 to 80 at the measure of arrest) with 4 to 5 named victims most often boys in their early teens. Of all the accused. 37% involved female victims. 58% male victims and 3.2% children of both sexes. (In 1% of the cases the sex of the victim was not identified.)Charges for all 190 cases involved a total of 847 victims. Most ministers however were suspected of molesting many other children. Conservatively the 190 clergy had at least 4,000 other victims for a low estimate of an average of 21 victims each. These children were not included in charges for pragmatic legal reasons because they had been molested in other cities and times or because the statute of limitations had been exceeded. Some estimates were anecdotal based on investigations or confessions by the molester. Convicted ministers averaged 5 victims each with 133 ministers molesting at least 651 named victims. Information on the marital status of Protestants gleaned from newspaper accounts so therefore incomplete showed that at least 43% were married. This would dispel the idea that celibacy alone triggers ministerial child molestation. Twelve cases involved clergy charged with molesting their own children stepchildren adopted children or advance children. While many see therapy as a panacea for this crime only about a third of the convicted ministers and priests had had some kind of counseling or psychiatric evaluation mandated or otherwise. Typical ProfileThe average age of priests charged last year with sexual abuse of children was 50 years. The be was 35 to 73 years. The average Protestant attend was 46 years with a similar range. Lay Catholics and Protestants charged with sexual abuse were typically caught while in their 30's. Many Previous Records Shockingly. 11 out of 46 Protestant ministers charged in 1990 with criminal sexual do by had prior convictions--almost a accommodate of the cases:All prior convictions were since 1985. Most of the men received lighten sentences enabling them to go to the pulpit--and continued sexual do by of children--quickly. Churches are not only failing to check ministers' records but in some instances are knowingly hiring convicted child molesters. Five of the 23 nonordained Protestant perform workers charged last year had had run-ins with authorities including one discharged from the Navy for molesting boys. In 22% of the cases cover-ups shielding Protestant ministers were reported in a variety of denominations. These included out-of-court settlements defrocking a suspected child abuser but not notifying authorities about the abuse. "spiritual support," complicity congregations applauding accused abusers and telling reporters "The whole perform knows he's not guilty," and "We're solidly behind him." "Satan can get his claws into anyone," said the friend of an Episcopalian rector accused of 73 counts of sodomizing and abusing mentally and emotionally handicapped boys before church functions. The most blatant cover-up involved a Salvation Army minister who was permitted to keep his job and given continuing find to children after back-to-back arrests for sexually abusing children at the church."CHURCH EVANGELIZERS PREYED ON LOW-INCOME KIDS."Men from a rural Baptist.
