One point that needs to be addressed is the fact that what is usually termed pedophilia is actually homosexuality.

The media knows that people cannot stomach pedophiles. Hardly any of these sex abuse cases have involved children.

The victims are usually sexually-developed adolescent boys.

Someone who is honest like this is refreshing.

He “thinks we are worse.” Thinks?

You're right. There is nothing in this article that suggest anything except that someone needs a job promoting to others what he thinks to be a wrong. It's equivalent to the global warming folks.

In otherwords homosexuals. The media will never admit this. The reason? Although they hate the Catholic Church, and any other Christian faith, they have a love affair with sodomites, so they cover up for their sex crimes.

First you said, “These daily hateful attack articles are making me like Catholics less and less.”

So, you like Catholics less and less.

Now you say, “I do like Catholic people.”

Sure. Less and less.

As a group, it gets less sometimes.

I wouldn’t say “worse,” but evangelicals have no room to point fingers. Evangelicals are good at sweeping problems under the rug and blaming the victims OR there are those falsely accused due to jealousy and malice.

Sorry, Geron, BK is correct.

As a whole I've noted that the Religion Forum is a lot less malice filled as it was in 2009-2012. It has discussions and debates, but these are well thought and not blanket

Also, i don't see the hateful attack articles against any group recently -- can you point out any in the past week or two weeks?

I would also point out that in this article's case it is talking about Evangelicals being worse than Catholics. It does not exonerate EITHER.

What would be nice is if we acknowledge that we all have the problem and work to solve it instead of just pointing fingers at one group -- you, Geron have not done this, but others have done this in the past.

thank you for your nuanced words. I see BG's grandson's words more as "Ok, we Evangelicals have a problem too. Let's work together to solve our joint problems instead of pointing fingers and ignoring our own problem"

I see all the Churches as affected by latent homosexuality

Also, there is temptation -- and Satan's influence.

We need to support our pastors/priests -- they are only human after all...
