When a Catholic priest has a sexual relationship with a sixteen-year-old boy, FRoman Catholics will defend the priest and the Catholic church, saying that it was consensual, that the boy seduced him, that it was legal, that the priest does not have a pathological nor a mental disorder, that it's not pedophilia, that Protestant clergy have more homosexual relationships than Catholic clergy do, and that the messenger is trying to bash the Catholic Church.
We get it, we get it. Catholics want their priests to be free to have their trysts, without interference or complaint.
No, the difference is that you guys make this out to be an indictment of our faith. We don’t make the prevelance of gays in your denomination as an indictment of your faith, do we? Or should we?

That’s a lie.
>> that the boy seduced him, <<
That’s another lie.
>> that it was legal, <<
Another lie.
>> that the priest does not have a pathological nor a mental disorder, <<
When this is argued on FR, it’s to say that the priest has no excuse, so he is to be condemned, in contrast to the mainstream/humanistic psychologists who have in the past told bishops that they are “cured” and can resume their ministry.
>> that it’s not pedophilia, <<
That’s right. It isn’t. It’s garden-variety homosexuality when the victims are 16. Pedophilia is a sickness, albeit not one to be tolerated or excused. Homosexual predation is simply evil. And that’s what is going on the Catholic church.
Please refer us to any post where a "FRoman Cathoic" has done such.

Careful. Your imagination is getting out of control.
Come see this obnoxious flame bait about Catholics and specifically about Catholics on Free Republic. Unfortunately, sickening flame bait like this appears to be sanctioned here.
