A church service is an event that anyone can attend, unless there is a restriction by the church itself that says if you are such and such a religion, don't come in to our church. I suppose there might be those, but in general, I don't think that applies to the "mainstream" types, perhaps cults etc ... 
I don't wish to take this thread off topic, so perhaps someone will start a new thread about public access to churches, what is public and what is not. It's a double edged sword.
It doesn't matter, by any other name, the parents, children and staff were there to hear the diatribe, and now it is 'public' because obviously someone who was there has made it very much so .
Whether it was the staff or a parent who wanted it brought out into the open is irrelevant. They didn't consider it 'private' at all.
If a priest wants his speeches and sermons kept private (meaning personal) then he had better keep it either to himself, or ask his captive audience to keep his mindset silent ... 
No need to get cross and talk about 'filters' ....
I'll concede it matters to you azureline xx
Back on topic.
I did have another thought/reaction to it this afternoon, and that is, I am so glad that I am not involved in any religion.
If I ever came back to it though (walked away from it at university) I think it would be strictly a personal thing so as to avoid the kind of frightening behaviours that have come to light.
We do have friends who are christians but they know we cannot be part of their 'Sunday' lives.
Good to know, we can agree to disagree agreeably then xx ... 
Goodnight to everyone, thanks for the discussion, hope it's been a great weekend for you ...

Reminded me of the silence the Church had, and still does, on the pedophiles in their ranks. I am astounded that someone, anyone thinks what he said is in anyway okay, especially after seeing him explain himself on the news.
