" The same was true of the Catholic priests'scandal.The Catholic bishops in particular went out of their way to avoid the use of the word homosexual.This was done even though the vast majority of the priest-predators were documented to be homosexuals."

You step on a hornet's nest here on FR when you bring up Catholic Church pedophilia, but logic explains perfectly why so many homosexual men entered the priesthood. The church was the ultimate closet. The celibacy requirement fell right into the hands of gays, because in the broad public, it was seen as sex between men and women. Since the Homosexual Priests were not interested in women in the first place, they could practice their sexual preferences in the church, enjoy vast respect, and not have to cover their trails.

The POINT being made was that the Church sex abuse scandal was mostly NOT pedophilia. It was pederasty/ephebophilia, gay men and teenage boys.
