Unfortunately in this era, I think the church, most any church, would have members willing to provide children if they were asked and the pastor promised some nebulous benefit to them in the afterlife.
David Koresh didn't have any trouble bedding whomever he wanted and I'm thinking most of his followers were in on it/cooperative too. I think poohbahs and leaders of the right inclination of other churches took note. Additionally, the continued slide in morals, WITH church complicity and led by churches even, would strongly indicate in the not too distant future we're going to see a denomination, way bigger than the Branch Davidians, comprehend the logic of saving lawsuit money and maintaining a fuller retinue of pastors/lay leaders/volunteers and announce a form of child molestation to be an approved church sacrament.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
