Just wanted to point out that had this sex scandal been a Roman Catholic Bishop instead of a Baptist Mega Church Pastor - roughly the same in their cultural structure - it would have been reported on every News outlet incessantly for many days. It would have been covered from the unproved allegations to the minister's confession and many follow up stories about the "damage to the victim."

Megachurch Pastor Fired After Discovery of Adulterous Affair; FBI Launches Probe
However this story got a couple of blips on the wires, local paper coverage and almost no mention in the national media. And this fellow isn't any ordinary Mega Pastor, he is the heir of the Hyles-Anderson Bible College dynasty, the son-in-law of its founder, who took the reins from his father-in-law. Why the difference? Why the different treatment from the media?
The fundamentalist Baptists and other evangelicals were a formidable challenge to the Scientistic Dictatorship Elite's (SDE) plans for a New World Order, which contains a new morality and a new universal religion. However, at this point the SDE believes they have the Baptist and the Evangelicals beat. A great many Baptists sects, some very large groups and many Evangelical Mega Churches have accepted the Mark of the Beast and are preaching from the paradigm of the SDE's evolutionary model, having accepted the grand Heresy of Ecumenicism and bowing to the "biological imperatives" of The Beast.
My mentor wrote:
“The great heresy of our age seems clearly to be Ecumenism. It would no doubt be nice and convenient if Ecumenism were only true, just that thing that Pope and Patriarch and prudent statesmen of every sort have been looking for these many years, and many now think they have found. But how could that be true and Christianity not be wrong? If Ecumenism is right, then it alone is the one great overarching Truth that stands above everything, not Buddha, not Muhammad, not Jesus, but something higher than any of these individual teachers. Such is not the doctrine of Jesus Christ, Who taught that He Himself is Truth, that He is the Way. He never said that He had found the Truth; he said that He is Truth and that He and the Father are One. Ecumenism is necessarily a Unitarian religion THIS is true, even when Ecumenism begins as ostensibly Christian. If a Christian cannot be Ecumenical, what then can a person do? Obviously, we must follow Christ. But where does Christ lead us, except to Himself? Nowhere, of course; but we must remember that while He is doing this, He also leads His flock through this life, in which He has an individual vocation for each one of us. The Lord has not revealed to us exactly when the world will end, or what He means for each one of us to be doing until then. The only way we can discover that is by following His gracious leading. We know that we are not all to go by the same worldly way because He has told us that, and Saint Paul repeats that doctrine with more variations in so far as it applies to Church functions. For the rest, Saint Paul just says that if a man will not work, let him not eat."(II Thessalonias 3:10)
The Roman Catholic Church was almost buried under a sea of this Heresy, but some, many have found her orthodox core and have renounced this heresy. The attack upon the Roman Catholic Church has always been orchestrated and brutal, much like the attack on the Evangelicals was a generation ago. Now the Apostasy of the Evangelicals, the Mega Church homosexual scandals are all being down played. Why? Because they fit within the goals of the SDE and their "Brave New Morality." The Roman church on the other hand has markedly moved towards its orthodox core and foundational beliefs, though now greatly weakened from previous scandals and horrible, relentless crucifixion in the media it has entered into direct battle with the SDE, not just here but around the world.
The SDE does not believe it had conquered the Church so, were this a Roman Bishop instead of the Baptist Mega Pastor - it would be top news for weeks.
What is the reality of the degree of sexual malpractice inside the Roman Church compared to the various Protestant sects? It isn't what the media would have you believe. Here is the record presented by a Jewish business man who recognizing the present drum beat against the Church as identical to the drum beat against the church in the 1930s in pre-WWII NAZI Germany came to the defense of truth and religious freedom.
"From the Sojourner’s Magazine dated August, 2002, listen carefully to a quote, “While much of the recent media hype has focused on the Catholic Church’s pedophilia scandal, relatively little attention has been given to the high rate of sexual misconduct in the rest of American Christendom. This is truly a crisis that crosses the borders of all religions.”
Now let me give you some figures that you as Catholics should know and remember. For example, research by Richard Blackman at Fuller Theological Seminary shows that 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact. In a 1990 study by the United Methodist Church, 41.8% of clergywomen reported unwanted sexual behavior by a colleague; 17% of laywomen said that their own pastors had sexually harassed them. Phillip Jenkins concludes in his book “Pedophiles and Priests” that while 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of pedophilia, 10% of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia."

The Great Evangelical Disaster. - - Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." +++ As an Orthodox Christian, this is my belief - clearly stated. According to several recent surveys, 50 to 57% of Evangelicals no longer believe this. Suddenly the great Christ-Centered Evangelical movement is faltering and failing - the right word is Apostatizing - that is falling away from Truth in Christ Jesus, our God. Some of these same people claim that Roman Catholicism is the center of Apostasy, (while they themselves apostatize) and that the Pope is the Anti-Christ. Sadly they say this while following false teachers like:
