"The Most Reverend Bernard Longley, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham, issued a statement after the case confirming that Robinson would be defrocked after his convictions.

The archbishop, who refused to answer questions about the Church's role in Robinson's case, said: "The Archdiocese of Birmingham sincerely regrets James Robinson's serious betrayal of the trust placed in him."

Notice it’s always boys that get abused by these priests?

Gee, I wonder what the name for a male attracted to other males is...

I don’t see any information about the age of the boys/young men. One of my sons is currently an altar server. He’s 14 years old, 5’10” tall, and weighs 190 lbs.

The word for a man who has sex with teenaged males is “homosexual,” not “pedophile.”

Well now those who are attracted to the same sex can adopt children. Wonder how this will turn out.... not.

In the name of Christ there should never ever be one child raped. This comment does NOT elevate any Christian as though it is about the numbers. This abomination has even been nicely spliced into what is the 'age' of the victim.... Anybody think the Heavenly Father is NOT taking notes on what is done in His name???

Nope. “Pederasty” by definition can actually involve no sex. If there is someone - an adult male - who pursues sex with teenage boys, it is properly called ephebophilia. Pederast also is often colloquially used in deviant relationships with pre-pubescent children. Ephebophilia is never used that way. It is the more accurate term. Also, it is homosexual in nature. These are homosexual men raping teen boys.

Webster defines ‘’pederasty’’ as ‘’unnatural sexual relations between males esp. when one is a young boy’’. Gk. ‘’paiderastia’’, ‘’love of young boys’’.

I already know what it says. Webster’s isn’t the only dictionary and it doesn’t take into account the how “Pederast” is often colloquially used.

How about this then: A sick m’fer who screws kids and should be burned alive with a flame-thrower. Does that work?

Actually a new category was created “Ephebophilia”. Anything to avoid calling it what it really is. Homosexuality.
