In a non-denominational church, that specific church is completly independant church, so it has absolutely no ties to any other church. The only thing there to keep it in check is the people who attend it, and possibly God, if you're into that sortof thing.

Almost all of them get elected because the people voting for them go "Now that's a guy I can like." They don't know this guy is a scumbag. I bet you anything in the world I could put 10 people in a row, 1 pedophile and 9 other random joes, and you wouldn't be able to tell which one is a pedophile. A sexual/control related urge has nothing to do with how you look or who you are in general conversation -- I bet you, aside from the whole child rape thing, these guys aren't that bad (I know I know, still awful, but still). You don't see anything wrong with them because the only thing wrong with them is something you can't see.

Most independent churches hire their pastors by a vote of the congregation. How do you expect lay people to know that the person they're hiring is a pedophile if that person has no record of such. It would take a mind reading ability.

I think that since Catholic priests aren't allowed to marry, this gives rise to even more temptation than the average person confronts per day. And in certain places they are exposed to children all day. Not that I'm saying priests are more likely to become pedophiles than anyone else, I'm just pointing out a possible cause for the rise in pedos in the church.

I always figured it was the whole "being a pedophile" thing.
I mean, suppose that you've got a desire to have sexual relations of a type which are both illegal and immoral, and you want to find some way to get rid of them. What do you do? Answer: join the church, God will help you conquer it. Except, then He doesn't, and you're in a position of power over an instutition which is based, in large part, upon the inclusion of children in it's activities...

Also, I go to church. I still lie, cheat, masturbate... The Bible never says that God will make you able to not sin by joining the church. It actually reassures you that you will sin and says to ask for help in times of temptation...which this guy obviously didn't do.
