then the Catholic church, all were homosexuals getting boys

You're painting an absurdly broad brush there which is very disappointing to me. The actual percentage of priests implicated in this (and even 1% is too high) was under 5% in the heyday.

Limiting their study to plausible accusations made between 1950 and 1992, John Jay researchers reported that about 4 percent of the 110,000 priests active during those years had been accused of sexual misconduct involving children.

And that percentage was not elevated compared to clergy of other Christian denominations.

But based on the surveys and studies conducted by different denominations over the past 30 years, experts who study child abuse say they see little reason to conclude that sexual abuse is mostly a Catholic issue. "We don't see the Catholic Church as a hotbed of this or a place that has a bigger problem than anyone else," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "I can tell you without hesitation that we have seen cases in many religious settings, from traveling evangelists to mainstream ministers to rabbis and others."

no I agree, the Catholic church had a few homosexals touching boys, it’s not an attack on the church as I’m sure other religions have these problems too but it’s to highlight how homosexuals and boys should not be near each other

Unfortunately, the other institutions infected with predators hardly make the news, and only the often repeated offenders are the ones recalled. There’s no question the Catholic Church receives the lion’s share of attention.

I don’t fault manc, however, for indicating the male predators that attacked the male victims were homosexuals. The assertion of homosexuality must be recognized especially when the officials are expressly recognizing the “sexual orientation” of minors.

RE: Sandusky being homosexual.

That can’t be true...see, in many of the conversations I’ve had with the BSA policy change defenders, they state over and over again the majority of offenders are “straight”, married, white males.

I guess a homosexual pederast using a marriage as cover just doesn’t compute with these kool-aid drinking morons.

I ask them what this equation equals: male + male sex = ?

They have all rec’d the same grade...fail.

I;ve met those same people and I always say to them” if a man touches the same sex then he is a homosexual”

They usually try to twist those facts but I stick to my guns and keep saying it to them

Yes, I somewhat misinterpreted your comment as the juxtaposition of the words “Catholic...all...homosexual...predators” leaped out at me and I missed your intended point. Sorry, my mistake.
