Dissecting Wartburgwatch and I-Monk which presents themselves as blogs dissecting Christian trends but dissect, mostly, conservative Evangelicals who have an historic orthodox view of Scripture. Not a lot of happy commenters seen on those blogs.

TWW continues to want to equate Catholic Church sexual abuse issues with Evangelicals - Update
Found on an extensive comment [ by Malcolm] on T.W.W. at the end of the comment
"c) Even in the absence of hard data, it seemed increasingly clear that, although clergy from every religious denomination have sexually violated children, no major denomination has had a problem of the scale that has plagued the Catholic church.”
There are absolutely no Protestant equivalents,
“ said Anson D. Shupe, a professor of sociology at Indiana University- Purdue University in Fort Wayne who researches clergy misconduct.” If I could find spectacular cases that would help my career, but I can’t. You don’t have rapacious serial predators, and the Protestant establishment doesn’t tolerate it the way the Catholic establishment has.”
___________
Deebs, you need to quit trying to equate the mess that is the Roman Catholic Church with conservative Evangelicals.
Any current or former SGM pastors accused of raping a child or adult? Nary a one.
DID SGM handle some of the allegations poorly? Yep [ as have other Evangelical Churches ] but they haven't held a candle to the sins of the Catholic Church.
No comparison Deebs.
