WARSAW, Poland —

A Roman Catholic priest in central Poland was sentenced Monday to 8 ½ years in prison after being convicted of sexually abusing five boys. It was the toughest punishment given to a priest in Poland in a child sexual abuse case. Priests are considered to be top moral figures by most people in the predominantly Catholic nation, where the church has helped preserve national identity and supported independence efforts under decades of communism. Previously, priests were generally treated with leniency and handed small or suspended sentences.

Money quotes:

"But church authorities recently declared "zero tolerance" for pedophile priests after the head of the Episcopate, Archbishop Jozef Michalik, drew outrage with remarks suggesting that children were partly to blame for the sex abuse they suffer from priests."

"In Poland's first-ever such case, a 65-year-old priest in southern Poland, identified as Michal M., was handed a two-year suspended prison term in 2004. He was moved to another parish and never served his term."

Perhaps Poland will come to grips with the truth that false doctrine breeds corruption.

There is not a sex abuse problem in the Catholic Church, there is a homosexual problem. Get rid of the queers and the the sex abuse will be all but eliminated. Liberal media never tells the truth about clerical sex scandals. They never say it was a queer priest. That’s because they hate the Church and want everyone to think that all priests are sex perfects. And they also love sodomites. 90% of all sex abuse in the Catholic Church is committed by homosexuals that lied their way into the seminary.

I’ve often thought that in order to be celibate for a life time, a man would have to put himself at odds with women. In other words, mentally, women would have to become distasteful.

So if you spend a life time denying your attraction to women, where does that leave you? Chasing after little boys?
