Some people don't learn

In spite of the Southern Baptist Convention's ability to kick out congregations that don't toe the line on gays and in spite of newspapers full of the Catholic priest pedophile scandal and more than a few bad apples in their own churches, somehow the SBC can't set up a national database on abuses by their own pastors. Their claim is that each church is autonomous and each is responsible for doing its own employee screening, it would not be possible to create a comprehensive list, and there is already a better national database. Perhaps they don't want to see that there is a problem. Or they feel that in their belief system pastors can do no wrong.
