Catholic Church, Falwell Ministries and now the Southern Baptists, all powerful, politically active religious organizations hiding sexual predators from the law. It's sickening that these religious leaders would use their faith to protect those amongst them from being prosecuted for heinous sex crimes. Clergy, corporate officers, political figures and everyone else must be held accountable for their actions equally or we have no rule of law.

The report asserts that an Executive Committee staffer maintained a list of Baptist ministers accused of abuse, but there is no indication anyone “took any action to ensure that the accused ministers were no longer in positions of power at SBC churches.”
The most recent list includes the names of hundreds of abusers thought to be affiliated at some point with the SBC. Survivors and advocates have long called for a public database of abusers.
