All of these "priest/sodomy" cases involve homosexuals.

That's right, and there are certainly a lot of sexually repressed, single, unmarried priests in the Catholic Church. Personally, although I am not Jewish, I like the orthodox view that a Rabbi must be married.

But, back to the topic, when the same abuse by "Catholic priests" involves the abuse of a girl, are we blaiming the priest's "heterosexuality", or his pattern of abuse?

Do we blame "heterosexuality" for prostitution, strip clubs, rape, most spousal abuse, "lap dancing", most student-teacher sexual abuse, etc., etc? It could easily be done, using the same statistical method you employ with your comment about Catholic priests. Only, its not accurate, either way.

I have no doubt that there are many, in fact a majority, of Catholic priests who are not "homosexual" and I have no doubt there are "homosexual" Catholic priests who have never committed sexual abuse. But, we are not going to hear about any of them and no one is going to count them. Which leaves us with only what we know and what we know only concerns those who have erred. Its not enough to condem the lot of them.
