The Christian Post reports:

The leadership team of Rock Church International cited Romans 3:23 Wednesday as they urged congregants to extend forgiveness to the Rev. John Blanchard following his arrest for solicitation of prostitution last fall.
“As followers of Christ, we must remember that redemption, salvation, grace, mercy, and healing are all gifts given to the children of God. Although everyone must address their own convictions and consequences, our assignment as believers is not to condemn, but to be agents of God’s love, healing, justice, and reconciliation.”
Blanchard, 52, was among 17 men accused of solicitation of prostitution after an online sting operation by police on Oct. 29, 2021. The married father of two was charged with solicitation of prostitution of a minor and use of a vehicle to promote prostitution, both felonies.

Do these guys get into priesthood because they're pedo and it gives them access to children? Or because they don't have access to regular sexual outlets they become more likely to molest children?

The Catholic Church really is the ultimate grooming machine.

They consist solely of unmarried men, and make their followers supply them with pubescent children to take back into their special secret chambers to literally help them change into their robes and get dressed. Then the old pervs shuffle themselves around the country and the world to maintain a constantly supply of fresh young flesh. Can you find anything more creepy?

Yeah, I think if you could get away from being buried beneath layers of political junk. Like one of those 20/20 investigative reports from back in the day. Just run the numbers and let it get out there.

both, one is easier after the other one is done.
 
Less than 5% of Catholic priests were ever accused of abuse.

That's a lower rate than public school teachers. About 5-10% of men in EVERY profession are abusers.

Priests, rabbis, teachers, drag queens, doctors, janitors. Etc. Etc.

Oklahoma Youth Pastor and Principal Sued After Molestation Arrest​

December 1, 2022 Crime, Religion


Fox News reports:
Cody Barlow, a 33-year-old former Wewoka Middle School principal who was arrested in October on child sexual assault charges, is being sued along with the Wewoka School District by an anonymous minor who attended the school and claims that Barlow groomed and abused him, according to KOKH-TV.
“Mr. Barlow had a process of grooming young kids,” attorney Ross Leonoudakis, who is representing the minor, told the outlet. “Grooming young kids to get them comfortable with them, and then sexually abusing them at least on school property.”
The lawsuit alleges that Barlow, who was also a youth pastor, would roughhouse members of the boys’ basketball team and would spend time alone with students in his office. The lawsuit also alleges that Barlow gave special favors and treatment to students he was inappropriately touching, and Leonoudakis believes that there could be other victims.

My October report on his arrest is here. Curiously, Fox does not appear to have tweeted a link to their report.
