Most trannies are right wing Christian Trump supporters.
But we all know that the straight married Christian white men who love
raping boys and consuming kiddy porn.
Rightists, especially Christian rightists, love raping children.
Look at what Christian Trump supporters love to do with children:
Southern Baptist Convention Names 700 Pastors Accused Of Sexual Abuse
Pastor Ed Litton, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, said denomination leaders must be "very mindful that the world
is watching" their response to a scathing report revealing efforts to cover
up sexual abuse by SBC clergy.
ACROSS AMERICA The Southern Baptist Convention's governing body late
Thursday released a secretly maintained list of about 700 pastors credibly accused of sexual abuse, the churchs governing body said Wednesday.
The document dump comes in response to a bombshell report Sunday from an independent investigator that said the top leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention stonewalled and denigrated sexual abuse victims for two decades
to protect their own reputations and remained singularly focused on
avoiding liability for the church.
The release of the names is a public repudiation of the way leaders at the nations largest Protestant denomination have responded to allegations of
sexual abuse in the past. In doing so, the SBCs top leaders said theyre committed to listening more attentively to survivors of clergy sexual
abuse. Read the full list of accused clergy.
"This list is being made public for the first time as an initial, but important, step towards addressing the scourge of sexual abuse and
implementing reform in the Convention, " the SBC Executive Committee said
in a statement on its website. "Each entry in this list reminds us of the devastation and destruction brought about by sexual abuse. Our prayer is
that the survivors of these heinous acts find hope and healing, and that churches will utilize this list proactively to protect and care for the
most vulnerable among us. "
The denomination also released the full report of the investigation
conducted by Guidepost Solutions on its handling of sexual abuse
allegations. It's available on the website, too.
In a joint statement with Guidepost, the SBC Executive Committee said it is creating a hotline for sexual abuse survivors that will be an important
stopgap measure until more meaningful reform can be addressed at the denomination's annual meeting in Anaheim, California, next month.
Gene Besen, the interim executive committee counsel, said in a statement
after the meeting that the prompt release of the names is in the Southern Baptist Conventions best interests.
Its important, it is of immediate concern to the public and to the survivor committee, and we need to do it right away, he said.
In an interview with The New York Times, Besen said that moving quickly
means that some accused pastors names may be redacted because the claims couldnt be substantiated by news reports and other sources, but researchers
may put them back on the list as more facts are known.
We have become too familiar with using techniques to slow processes down,
Ed Litton, president of the SBCs Executive Committee said, according to an account in Christianity Today of the decision to release the names of
credibly accused pastors. We need to be very mindful that the world is watching, and they dont need to see business as usual... we have to do this right.

Under the business as usual practice, victims of sexual abuse and
congregants who supported them repeatedly shared allegations of sexual
abuse with top church leaders, only to be met, time and time again, with resistance, stonewalling and even outright hostility by some Executive Committee members, according to the nearly 300-page report.
Our investigation revealed that, for many years, a few senior EC leaders,
along with outside counsel, largely controlled the EC's response to these reports of abuse ... and were singularly focused on avoiding liability for
the SBC, the report said, continuing:
In service of this goal, survivors and others who reported abuse were
ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could
take no action due to its policy regarding church autonomy even if it
meant that convicted molesters continued in ministry with no notice or
warning to their current church or congregation.
Survivors of abuse, both congregants and seminary students, have long
pressed the denomination to release the list of clergy credibly accused of sexual abuse. The list was maintained for about a decade by an Executive Committee staff member who turned it over to the Executive Committees
former vice president and general counsel.
The investigator found no indication that anyone took any action to ensure
that the accused ministers were no longer in positions of power at SBC churches.
