Church leaders held meetings where children were told to forgive the man who sexually abused them and forget the abuse. An internal church document also suggests that, when appropriate, both parties be brought together for a discussion.propublica.org/article/minneso#News #Minnesota #Duluth #Abuse #Church #Religion #Law #Crime #Epstein

@ProPublica The abuser can get all the prayers, absolution, and forgiveness they deserve from their prison cell.Holding criminals responsible for their secular crimes does not impede their religious rights. Render unto Washington what is Washington's and to God what is God's. If putting a rapist in jail stops God from being able to reach them, you have a pretty weak God.
