If he had not confessed, I cannot help but wonder what would have happened. Confession is good for the soul for ALL, but you won't see it if others do not see their sins.
It is absolutely no surprise to me, or anyone, that "Good old boy" networks exist. They exist in politics, business, clubs, neighborhood associations, churches, law enforcement, everywhere. To automatically assume that this man will be protected by the "good old boy" network before ever hearing the story and knowing the facts, and to continually assert such allegations, is in my mind, cynical and reveals a root of bitterness.

Hence, my comment to Fringe Nutter, it seemed that his obsession was with the alleged protection that would be afforded this pastor, regardless of the verdict.

Now, IF in fact, the GOBN is truly covering up this sick pervert's confessed sins, then I'll jump on the bandwagon with everyone else to denounce the enablers who have assisted in the propogation of this travesty. In a situation like this, to have knowledge of a trespass like this, and not only refuse to reveal it, but take proactive steps to conceal it, the GOBN should suffer the same fate as the offender.
