Episcopal Bishop and Church Hide Child Molestation - WHERE ARE THE HEADLINES!!!

Let me be clear I am not attacking the TEC here. I also understand the thing going on between the Church and the victims and why it was handled this way. But when the Catholic Church does this it is treated as a whole different manner.

Bishop Robert Rowley, Rowe's immediate predecessor, was aware of incidents of abuse as early as 1993 and reported them to the Office of the Presiding Bishop, Rowe said, adding that his investigation showed that Rowley met with victims and assisted in arranging counseling.

.............In early 1994, then-Presiding Bishop Edmund Browning asked Davis to resign from the House of Bishops in 1994 and undergo pastoral counseling and see a psychiatrist, Rowe said. Davis, then living in retirement in Sarasota, Florida, agreed to refrain from priestly or episcopal duties, meaning that he was effectively removed as a bishop of the church, Rowe said in his letter. Davis also helped pay for counseling for two of the victims, according to the diocesan news release.

The abuse and the subsequent actions were never made public. Rowley, who served as diocesan bishop from 1991 to August 2007, died Jan. 18, 2010, shortly before Rowe learned of the abuse..........


Just tired of the double standard.


Again I am not criticising the TEC here. In fact one can make a great argument that to keep victims private that this is the way it should be. YET when the Catholic Church does this it is treated as some damn sinister plot!!
