Bobo's World: The never-ending chronicle of church-related crime

WARNING! Not for the faint of heart! This blog chronicles the offenses of numerous clergy, church staff, church volunteers, etc., and seemingly the vast majority of which are sexual in nature. It truly is despicable to see. Not despicable that this blog is despicable but the acts that are listed there. I wonder if a study of this page itself and the sources that feed it reveal any certain trends about certain kinds of churches, clergy, etc. You would think that with all the publicity given to abuse scandals, and that certain insurance agencies are getting to the point of not providing insurance to churches that don't do preventioin training, that you would see an end in sight of this evil. I have a hunch that internet porn is just racheting up the number of offenders in society as a whole. And then you hear about wacko stuff like J. Lee Grady's article in Charisma magazine, "It's Getting Really Weird Out There". It's true, there really are so many very faithful ministers out there — even within the Roman Catholic traditiion despite what the media says. So many just love God and his people. But when you read articles like Grady's and see lists like Bobo's World it is disheartening. At a bare minimum it can serve as a reminder to never stop being vigilant in our protection of children in our churches. Never say, "That couldn't happen in our church." As soon as you begin believing that you put your church at risk.
