Why did church take so long to admit New Orleans deacon was a child abuser?
New recordings raise questions about archbishop’s response to accusations against VM Wheeler, attorney and church benefactor
The various antics of the Church in this case take some believing. I certainly dont see much Jesus in offering an abused child cash to "make it go away".
I know that child protection is a huge issue in the US. Im sure that all of my fellow posters will join me in condemning this.
Child abuse seems to be endemic in the Louisiana church. Perhaps they should rip up the whole thing and start again ?
