I taught in a Catholic school system in which teachers were requited to participate in a program called VIRTUS that dealt with identifying and dealing with sexual predators.

There was some helpful information, however, the program went out of its way to disassociate homosexual behavior from pedophilia. I found this surprising.

Probably just trying to cover their backsides (heehee poor choice of words) from the politically correct thought police.

Divide and conquer. Probably the only way they could get some of the pro-homosexual crowd on board.

One of the problems with conservatives is that, since they are principled, many have a real problem with the incrementalism that the liberals employ as a matter of tactics.

But we didn't get here all at once, and we won't get back all at once either. Thank heavens BXVI has taken the long view and planned carefully. May he be spared to us for a long, long time!

The large majority of the priest/sex abuse incidents has occurred with priests exploiting sexually maturing adolescents. This is not pedophile behavior. This is predatory homosexual behavior.
