The Religious Predator (those who wear the label and the cloak of a trusted religious leader or spiritual guide) are those who specifically target people of faith, to use their trust against them, to exploit them, to fleece them financially and/or to emotionally manipulate them to where the Predator is able to sexually offend them.

 

To understand them, one must begin to accept the fact that people would actually be willing to stoop so low as to use a religious title or position to steal and defraud.  Once that reality is acknowledged, then it is much easier to see the reality of Predators being interested in more than simply money, but of desiring to sexually manipulate trusting people, steal innocence, and traumatize young minds.
