First, don't ONLY catholic priests go after children? Second, why did it take so long to report this?

Homosexuals (and YES most child abusers are HOMOSEXUALS) can not be trusted in positions involving close contact with children. They are a danger to the kids well being. And they want the right to adopt children? How f-ing sick can you be to condemn a child to a life time of abuse?

Anyone who dares to ask for equal rights for gays are just stupid or downright evil. They are not scientifically HOMOSEXUALS so that excuse should NEVER be used.

Homosexuality is just a choice. They do those acts by choice only, so end that excuse now. Gays are not "gay" or happy in any long term way, but are at their core just evil.

This is a heterosexual predator.

Not that that won't produce psychological issues.

Or spread venereal diseases - some curable, others not.

Or that the conception of a child (if it happens) whether it lives and needs care, or dies through miscarriage or abortion doesn't produce devastating consequences that manifest themselves in the life of the minor involved across the years.

The Catholic MO is consistent: “Don’t blame us, everyone rapes children.”

Congratulations on finding one article. Meanwhile tens of thousands of children have been raped at the hands of thousands of Catholic clergy.

The John Jay report, which only covers US cases from 1950 to 2002, identified 10,667 allegations against 4,392 priests.

That’s only in the U.S. and doesn’t include cases like Rev. Murphy, 200+ abused, which were discovered after the report was published!

Include Europe and you can double that number!
