The Catholics church has had problems with homosexual priests for centuries and has yet to make any progress in addressing it.
Part of the problem is the *once a priest, always a priest* mentality of Catholics.
So when child molesting homosexual priests molest minors, it's covered up, they're moved from one parish to another, anything but defrocking them and reporting them to the police to let justice be served for breaking the law.
And there's no way anyone can deny that and retain any credibility. Thanks to those who have been molested and refuse to be bullied or strong armed into silence, they have spoken out and the world knows better.
It's rank hypocrisy for Catholics to condemn non-Catholics for ordaining or allowing homosexual clergy when the Catholic church is know for doing the exact same thing.
Ithink we can all agree that sexual abuse by any human being of any creed is something we must all work towards preventing.
Since the news has brainwashed most Americans into thinking Catholic priest = child molester I thought some light should be shed on how this problem exists for our protestant friends as well.
I think the focus on CC abuse cases by the media and certain groups (not always religious) is because of the anti Christian agenda currently in full force. There are few things that disgust and infuriate people more than the sexual abuse of children. What better way to turn people against the Church than to say priests are pedophiles? It’s a genius tactic...but as we see, humans are sinful creatures who...sin. There are Catholic, Mormon, Jehovahs Witness, Methodist, Baptist, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, and Pagan pedophiles. It does not serve anti Catholic agenda to sensationalize abuse cases in non Catholic religions.
