1114: Michael James Shover

Michael James Shover is the pastor at Pella’s Christ the Redeemer Church. He was at the Iowa State Capitol. He got in a shouting match with LGBTIQA protesters and said they were all devoid of morals. He then asked “Why is pedophilia wrong?” The video went viral and he claims criticism is out of context and that it was a rhetorical question. Maybe so, but why does he entertain the question at all?

The problem for Mr. Shover is that there are hundreds upon hundreds of pastoral pedophiles. More than 700 just in Texas Baptist churches. If he wants to criticize a group for lack of morality and values, get a mirror.
