We are talking about one man trying to cover his actions. I to have never heard anything from the pulpit to condone criminal activity. Crimes are committed by many so called Christians and rarely is their religion blamed for actions. The only time that seems to happen is when the religious organization has been in the news front because of the actions of some bad apples in their ranks. Currently it's let's bash the Catholics. I agree with Oldgrunt, Let them without sin cast the first stone.
