Not to defend homosexual abusers of children---

but also please note that MOST of the cases now getting media attention are quite old. Not all--but most.

Of course, if the Bishops had acted with their spines engaged in the FIRST place, the perps would STILL be in jail, as housewives to some several nasty types...

The thing that annoys me is that Catholic priests have become the last politically correct target of stereotyping. Compared to Catholic priests who are pedophiles: Irish are much more likely to be drunks, Jews are much more likely to be cheap, Poles are much more likely to be stupid, Blacks are much more likely to be lazy, women are much more likely to be terrible drivers, French are much more likely to smell bad, etc.

Of course, none of the former descriptions has a shread of truth to it. The high figure I've heard on Catholic Priests is something like 2% of all priests have been accused of sexual misconduct (and may that 2% spend the rest of their days in a tiny prison cell with a big hairy guys named Ben Donver). But the overwhelming majority of Catholic priests are devout men of faith. So why is it ok or funny for Jay Leno to make that accusation once a week?
