That's unfair, said Dan Feeney of Southlake, a member of Voice of the Faithful, a group of Catholics who have been critical of the church's handling of the scandal.

"There's no [research] correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia," he said. "To turn around and focus on chaste and celibate men who want to be members of the clergy is, I think, misleading."

Not so fast Feeney; a member of Voice of The Hidden Agenda, we have hard evidence that the vast majority of the abuse cases, 82%, involved ephebophilia. Homosexual acts between adult males and post pubescent males.
