Daniel Reece grew up in a devout Catholic household but has distanced himself from the church due to its institutional failures, particularly around sexual abuse scandals. Despite the deep moral values instilled in him, he couldn't reconcile the church's contradictory behaviors and lack of transparency regarding abuse cases. This dismay led him to not baptize his daughter, emphasizing that trust in the church has been betrayed. He acknowledges similar issues pervasive in other denominations, underlining a broader concern about accountability within religious institutions.
The contradiction of the Catholic Church's actions and scandals... is something that simply confuses me, he said. He felt dishonest practicing Catholicism when the institution couldn't live out the values he was taught as a child.
While the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandals have been widely publicized, make no mistake, other major denominations have had sex abuse scandals of their own.
