LINK Southern Baptist Convention leaders mishandled sexual abuse allegations, report says - CNN
Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) mishandled allegations of sexual abuse, intimidated victims and their advocates, and resisted attempts at reform over the course of two decades, according to an explosive report released Sunday by a third-party firm.
“Survivors and others who reported abuse were ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could take no action,” the report found, “even if it meant that convicted molesters continued in ministry with no notice or warning to their current church or congregation.”

It makes me wonder is such people hate women because their own mothers were utterly vile cunts.
@anglophone Very possible.
Welcome to the evil of the unspeakably vile bastards.

Fuckin' DUH!!
Unless forced beyond resistance, male-dominated groups of just about any variety have consistently chosen to ignore the existence of sexual abuse.
They stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the "sins" of their brethren, unless they are completely backed into a corner with no escape.

I wonder how Q Anon managed to get Christian churches confused with the federal government. It's pretty obvious where the pedophiles are.

And to think everyone thought this problem was limited to the Catholic priests....

Having been brought up in a conservative protestant faith, I knew for a fact that clergy misconduct was a problem in our church long before I learned of the Catholic priests!
