So the catholic god is in favor of hushing up child rape victims and
sending the rapists to rape again? Interesting religion

So it can be rightfully said that any of this so called pastors
followers, his congregation as you put it, are the idiots and jerks
who are so by putting this sort of idiot and jerk in a position of
authority?

How many is that? Hundreds...thousands?  Given his credentials it
would seem the number would be well into the thousands.

And what about some of the other examples of such rhetoric that uses
binblical backing as its aegis?  How many of pastor Ted's homophobics?
How many Westboro Baptists supporters?  How many who supported the
slave trade? How many that condone the harming young women for how
they dress? How many calls for death have been done in the name of a
god?

As Gordon Gano put so well...add it up   add it up.
