Anson Shupe is a sociologist who has studied largely the matter of clergy (priests, ministers, rabbis, specialists) who make the most sexually or financially of participants in their church buildings and groups―from televangelists like Jim Bakker or Robert Tilton to the notorious Father James Porter who sexually molested not less than two hundred young children. Shupe's concentration isn't really at the mental explanations of those miscreants, yet quite at the response to their activities by way of the perpetrators themselves, by way of the businesses, and through the victims.
