There's sexual abuse and peodophilia scandals related to Christianity and all the religions, it's why I'll never be a follower of any specific religion. I observed too much power, hypocrisy, greed and abuse.
My spiritual practice is personal you don't need a translator to commune with the divine.
"They can do whatever they want and you have to forgive them. That’s not right," an 84-year-old woman who grew up in the church said about the abuse she endured as a child. “But you go along because you were brought up in it. I wish I wasn’t."
