‘…(T)he existence of a vast pedophile ring in the United States in the twenty-first century is something more than an affront to “family values.” And the fact that this ring is operated by named and senior churchmen, who continue to hold high office and to officiate at Sunday ceremonies, is something more than an outrage. Alleged “cultists” in Waco, Texas, who were only suspected of maltreating children inside their compound, were immolated by a bombardment of federal fire. The admitted and confessed enablers and protectors of rapists and child abusers are invited, at the most, only to resign their high offices.’ Free Inquiry
