I’m assuming you feel the same way about a pedophile Priest?

[JRandomFreeper]

I'm not Catholic, but I am a celibate. I think the whole concept is no sheep, no kids, no wimmins, no men, no horses, &ct. Nada. Nothing.

Why do you think the Trappists make such good ale?

They have to pray and concentrate on something.

I think you are trying to compare apples and oranges.

I know of no one who condones pedophilia

I also catch a whiff of snarkiness in your post..

pedophiles occur in every profession, and the dirty little secret is back in the 1970’s professionals like myself were told not to report it because it wasn’t bad for kids... child abusers in California were take out of prison and given “outpatient” treatment, and Newsweek had an article saying we shouldn’t report fathers who have sex with their young daughters because if he went to jail, it would destroy the family.

Blame the Johns Hopkins sex abuse treatment program that encouraged “treatment” not removal of the priests...

and the rate of child sexual abuse is high enough to suggest it isn’t only priests: There is a cdc report where 10 percent of “hetero” kids and 18 percent of “homosexual” kids had sexual intercourse under age 13. Needless to say, that report hasn’t made it into the mainstream media.
