Image ( Matthew 18 v 7 )

The former leader of a well known evangelical church was a paedophile,and all the leaders did, was try to keep it quite,there was no real concern for his victims. The paedophile was allowed to retire with a pension,the victims got no justice. Now the word of God says,' Love covers all sins' (Proverbs 10 v 12 ),the example of that is seen in Joseph ,the husband of Mary.When Joseph was told that Mary was pregnant,he assumed that she had sinned, and that would have brought public disgrace on her, Joseph  we are told was a just man,so he wanted it all to dealt with quietly  ( Matthew 1 v 19) But we cannot show that attitude to paedophiles,they are dangerous, they will not let up,they need to be exposed,and brought to justice.They care little for their victims, Oscar Wilde confessed he felt nothing for the rent boys he abused.It is a dreadful shame and disgrace that there have been so many covers ups by church  bodies who were and are, solely concerned with protecting their image,instead of protecting helpless children.
