“Legalistic sophistry”

Not really. Pedophiles are wired to want to have sex with kids. Murderers are wired to want to kill people. “Wanting to” is one thing, and not a sin; actually doing the act is a sin, illegal, etc.

Saying that it’s OK for people to have homosexual sex because they’re “born that way” is wrong. Would someone tell a pedophile, “Since you were born with the urge to rape children, go ahead and do it”? Self control and free will (should) work together to make all of us stop when we consider doing wrong things.

I would also add that having autism makes me easily feel irritated at the most random of times, but it does not mean that I should let those bouts of urge to feel angry or anxious get the better of me. This is also talking about a condition or predisposition that is manifest from early childhood, at least.

Pedophilia is considered a developed condition, at least now it is, although it’s often not equally applied.
