According to SNAP. this guy is a dick, "despite Patterson’s calling the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) 'just as reprehensible as sex criminals',,,'Patterson made a hurtful, mean-spirited and Trump-like effort to bully suffering victims into staying silent.   To equate child molesters to child sex abuse victims may be most vicious comparison possible.'

A Southern Baptist Convention seminary president has been named to a Religious Liberty Advisory Council created by Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

Paige Patterson, president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, is part of a 19-member group announced Feb. 29 to guide policies to reverse what the Cruz campaign termed “unprecedented attacks on freedom both at home and abroad.”

“Religious liberty is the first freedom guaranteed to Americans under the Constitution, and ensuring the protection of that right has been a priority my entire adult life,” Cruz said in a campaign press release.

“Increasingly, renegade government officials seek to coerce people of faith either to act in a manner that violates their faith or forfeit their career. When I am elected president that will change. It is time for our liberties to be respected in Washington. The right to religious liberty built America, and denying that right is both un-American and morally wrong.”
