Of course the implications are deeper than this. No kind of abuse of man, woman, or minor by any member of any religion, sect, or denomination will be mandated reportable.
What are your thoughts on this?
For Catholics is: “Jesus would forgive you for continued abuse of children, if you pay your penance.”
