Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, which attracts an estimated 100,000 worshipers weekly, has confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” more than 35 years ago while he was a young pastor after a woman accused him of sexually abusing her over multiple years beginning when she was 12.

      The title itself is trying to minimize it so hard. It isn’t a moral failure, it’s a pedophile.

        To me it seems like the point of the title is how insane it is and how guilty it makes him look that this was his response

          That’s fair enough. I’m just so jaded by most media that intentionally do this sort of stuff that it’s hard to see it otherwise.

      The woman herself speaks against this and against everything he said. The majority of the article is her story and I encourage others to read past the PR paragraphs at the start!
