• Protecting an Abuser: Leaders of a Minnesota church didn’t report a parishioner to police though they knew he’d sexually abused girls for years and had been told reporting it was their duty.
  • Forgive and Forget: Church leaders held meetings where children were told to forgive the man who sexually abused them and forget the abuse. If they spoke of it, the sin would be theirs.
  • Missed Opportunities: Prosecutors had at least one opportunity to intervene but hoped educating church leaders about their duties would encourage them to cooperate with authorities.

    Never is.

    They don’t like drag queens because the drag queens might teach their kids to be literate.

      I wouldn’t say never, after all Rudy Giuliani has done drag, and there was that time he got caught in a hotel room with someone he thought was 15 and his hand down his pants.

        I don’t think cross dressing a few times qualifies him to be a drag queen any more than changing a headlight makes someone a mechanic.

        Don’t forget when members of IDF cross-dressed, and went into a hospital to kill some people.
