43north: In the early 1980’s a colleague of mine showed me a VHS tape of an elderly brother from some order in her homestate of MN who was railing against the takeover of the Church and its seminaries by homosexuals. I guess he was correct.

CodeToad: The Catholic organization has had pedophile priests for centuries. they just choose to do nothing about it for fear of losing their precious money.

Both of you are correct. For centuries, influential and wealthy Catholic families in Europe and the Western Hemisphere sent their homosexual sons to the seminary. Donations flowed into church coffers, and their presence was a carefully guarded secret. The homosexual priests became a fairly powerful minority and they protected, and continue to protect their own. Any homosexual priest who got into trouble was assigned to different duties, or relocated to another diocese. Victims and their families were bullied into silence.

In the next post, I'm going to provide links to a Washington Post article, a Boston Globe article, and a Newsweek article that admit there are a very large number of Catholic priests who are homosexual, and the sexual abuse problem is almost entirely homosexual. Also the data from the 2016 USCCB study showed that more than 80% of abusing priests are same sex attracted, and more than 90% of the victims are post-pubescent. They're attracted to teenaged (adolescent) boys who are vulnerable.
