I love how the work is rolling forth and how the church is constantly in the world news these days. It’s so ironic that the Mormon news is lumped in with weird exorcisms and cults. I guess they earned it with such news like Church hides $120B fund! Church really does hate LGBTs! Another $38B found!

Exorcism in the Anglican Church.
Does it ever happen within the Episcopal/Anglican church?
Is there any formal liturgy, rite, rules, or procedures around this subject?
And I have heard (thought it sounds like urban myth) that many Dioceses actuality have an Exorcist. They might not make it too public, but they have one designated. Any truth to that?

In light of the Catholic sex abuse report, this is all I have to say: why are you fucking surprised? If you take your kids to a place where everyone believes that they are inherently depraved, don't be surprised when depraved shit happens. Stop taking your kids to church. It's not fucking safe.
Christians believe in depravity. It's commonly thought of as a protestant teaching, but Catholics believe in depravity, just in a more nuanced way.
If you take your kids to a place where everyone believes they are inherently depraved, don't be fucking surprised when depraved shit occurs.
Your kids are not safe in church. Perhaps you should stop fucking taking them.

Over 1,000 children were abused by priests just in PA. Imagine what those numbers are like nationwide and worldwide. The Catholic Church needs to be shamed every second of every day until all pedophile priests are purged from their ranks. People who protect child rapists do not deserve respect.
1,000 victims just in PA.
Imagine that number if every single state did a similar grand jury investigation. Imagine all the other cover ups.
Imagine that number if it goes worldwide.
People who protect child predators are not men of god, and they should be shamed in society until they fucking change.
Pope Francis donates $500,000 to help Central American migrants in Mexico. Let me get this straight: when thousands of migrants are in desperate need, the Catholic Church can only come up with $500k.

Is pedophilia/child molestation as prevalent in other major religions as it seems to be in the Catholic Church?
Simply googling any combination of "Religion" and "Pedophilia" will net a lot of know cases of child abuse in the Catholic Church specifically, sadly enough, but curiously not a lot (if anything) comes up for other religions.
Now that the correlation between suicide and mental illness have been established in certain situations, has the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines changed its stance on banning funeral mass and burial in Catholic Cemeteries for people who have committed suicide?
I was educated in a Catholic run private school in my elementary and high school days, and I distinctly remember in my religion class the seminarian claim people who attempt suicide are committing a mortal sin and that these people will go straight to hell.
I wonder how things have changed now in terms of what the Roman Catholic Church teaches, in light of people's awareness of mental illness. Makes me wonder how many suicide victims and their families have been persecuted/ discriminated against before people have accepted the reality of mental illness and depression.
Can anyone share their experiences and thoughts?
