Catholics and evangelicals form the nucleus of Christianity in the United States.

Both Christian entities are extremely pro-life. They preach the theology of protecting the unborn in the name of God’s only begotten son.

It is from these religious ranks, like White Christian Nationalist Marjorie Taylor Green, that promote the outlandish—obscene actually—political mantra that “Democrats are pedophiles.” The Florida politically conservative “war on Disney,” led by its Gov. Ron DeSantis, is based on this belief expressed by a right-wing White Christian Nationalist and conspiracy theorist Candace Owen in a tweet:

“”Child groomers and pedophiles.  They (Disney) have now openly admitted  they have a not so secret agenda with your [Christian] children.  This is the death of Disney.”

But what are the facts?

A recent report issued by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office list more than 150 priests accused of sexually molesting more than 600 children with the near-blessing of the local Catholic Diocese for decades. This latest report is just one of the hundreds of other reports released in the U.S. (and around the world) chronicling the history of sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests.

In 2018, the Washington Post carried a major story about “the epidemic of denial about sexual abuse in the evangelical church.” The author of the article, Joshua Peace, made this observation:

“So many Christian churches in the United States do so much good—nourishing the soul, comforting the sick, providing services, counseling congregants, teaching Jesus’s example, and even working to fight sexual abuse and harassment. But like in any community of faith, there is also sin—often silenced, ignored and denied—and it is much more common than many want to believe. It has often led to failure by evangelicals to report sexual abuse [including that of children], respond appropriately to victims and change the institutional cultures that enabled the abuse in the first place.”

That means, as evidenced by the latest Catholic Church child sex abuse report in Baltimore Maryland, that while literally tens of thousands of standard-bearer Catholic Christians and Evangelical Christians fight and protest for the rights of unborn children, they are simultaneously sexually abusing, and terrorizing, the very children they saved from abortion.

There are more Christian child sexual abusers in the nation’s churches every Sunday than all the “liberal Democratic” Disney executives who may be “grooming” children for pedophilia.
