Not being lazy at all Mr. Robert Pickle. Many have come here and other forums and discussed the responsibility of the clergy, doctors, psychiatrists, counselors, educators, day care providers, etc to report anything they feel needs to be reported to the appropriate authorities . . .
You claimed to be a member of the clergy
You demean others who you feel did not deal with a situation you felt needed to be
However . . . at the same time you didn't do anything with the information you had except to use it to tear down a Gospel ministry and the people involved in that ministry. You didn't go to the authorities . . . but you did immediately run and use the information that was given you to tear down God's ministry and the people who worked there.
Your new focus on demanding that I cite a legal statute seems to be just another attempt to divert and avoid answering the question. Let's say, for the sake of debate here, that there isn't a specific statute in Minnesota requiring clergy to report suspected cases of abuse . . . if we are going to hold you to the same type of Christian behavior that you are demanding of everyone else - well, then you should have gone above and beyond and you didn't. If your concern was for the so-called "victims" you wouldn't have let anything stand in your way in order ot advocate for them . . . instead you didn't bother, you used it to attack the Gospel ministry and those spreading God's word to the world.
Why were you derelict in your duty?
There is no legal research involved ....
You can't have it both ways. If no research is needed, then quit asking the question. If you think you need to ask the question, then by all means cite the statute that spells out what my duty was.
Don't be lazy.
