I agree with some of what I think your overall point is but:
1. All the evidence suggests that there are far more than a small number of homosexuals in the priesthood. Personally, I think there a lot of them, depending on the location and order, etc. For example, among the the American Jesuits, there clearly are many, many homosexuals, perhaps a majority. Proof? Just ask one of them.
2. This limiting of the term ‘pedophile’ to abusers of small children is getting down into the weeds of technical speak. In common parlance, those who pursue sexual contact with minors, even 12-15 year-olds, are pedophiles. Where the victims are of the same sex, the attackers are also homosexuals. The vast majority of priest offenders were homosexuals.
3. Almost every diocese in the USA had multiple offenders. That is not a small network.
4. The pedophile problem in the priesthood has mostly gone away. But the homosexual problem remains.
I was talking about parish priests. That has been my experience. I don't know that much about the Jesuits but as you say I have heard bad things about them so you might be right. Pope Francis is a Jesuit.
“In common parlance, those who pursue sexual contact with minors, even 12-15 year-olds, are pedophiles. Where the victims are of the same sex, the attackers are also homosexuals. The vast majority of priest offenders were homosexuals.”
All the priest offenders who homosexuals. Almost all the victims were boys in there mid to late teens, the most attractive group for adult homosexuals. I don't excuse what they did. They should be defrocked and if they committed a crime they should be prosecuted.
“Almost every diocese in the USA had multiple offenders. That is not a small network.”
Priests move from diocese to diocese. Classmates in the seminary are assigned to different diocese. Read “Goodbye Good Men”. The author documents the homosexual network and the homosexual take over of many Catholic Seminaries.
“The pedophile problem in the priesthood has mostly gone away. But the homosexual problem remains.”
There are not two separate problems, they are the same problem.
Incidences of sexual abuse declined when Pope John Paul II and then Cardinal Ratzinger went after homosexual priests.
When Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict he defrocked over 800 homosexual priests. The network remains but it is far less powerful than it once was.
