It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

Was changing the name of the church so reporters won't be able to easily make the connection the next time one of their youth pastors diddles a little kid?

I doubt it. Most Catholic churches have had the same name for decades

Not Catholic.
