Reason: Homosexuality.
Ya know ... those Village People songs, "In the Navy", "YMCA" and the like. They shoulda had one that was "In the Seminary".
Translation: the closted homosexuals of the US Catholic church are trying to BUY a study which says homosexuals who attack boys are not performing a homosexual attack.

"The homosexual legacy of William Cardinal O’Connell and Francis Cardinal Spellman has followed us into the 21st century. We are currently on the third generation of clerical homosexuals and pederasts who can be directly tied to Spellman and O’Connell and other homosexual prelates of the early 20th century…and there will be many more generations of clerical homosexuals and pederasts to follow unless Rome acts to disinherit the heirs of perversion from the Catholic priesthood and religious life."
Good news I'd say. Time to get some facts in the situation.
I am really hopeful that this study will illuminate the fact that there is a high incidence of sexual abuse in the schools. I do not believe that the church has a higher incidence than the society. We are a sick society with everything being tied to sex. I am grateful for any study that brings truth to the discussion. But it is too bad the dems are in power because the liberal mindset says we have to understand the violator rather than stop him/her. We shall see how this proceeds but I am glad they are trying it. That must be the influence of the new Pope.
Save the money - the cause is LIBERALISM!
I'm glad they're doing a serious study on the problem, and I hope they'll listen to the results and take the suggestions to heart.
So many straight lines; so little time!
The root is unscriptural celibacy. It's so obvious.
Ugh. What a thread...
"US Catholic Church seeks to find root of priest sex abuse"
Guess they were out sick that day in Seminary when "sin" was covered.
I have it -- pedophiles are attracted to the Church because:
1. easy access to children
2. authority over children
3. authority over gullible parents
4. a free nice place to live
5. maid service, free travel, free rent
6. easy job
7. When caught, the Church will protect and "forgive"
8. People of faith are easy to play for fools.
Pedophiles are also attracted to being camp counselors for the following reasons:
1. easy access to children
2. authority over children
3. some authority over gullible parents
4. lower educational requirement than becoming a priest
5. salary and benefits
Pedophiles are also attracted to being Ministers and Teachers for the following reasons:
1. easy access to children
2. authority over children
3. some authority over gullible parents
4. lower educational requirement than becoming a priest
5. salary and benefits
The Catholic Church needs to get it's head out of the sand and fire people who condone evil. They are part of the problem
Next, they had no problem endorsing homosexuals, so long as they didn't "practice" their sin, which pretty much consumes homosexuals' lifestyle sooner or later.
EVIL! of Homosexual acts and Pedophilia
They should take Origenus as THE example to emulate. To better fight the temptation of the flesh, this early Church father castrated himself. As fas as it is known, no abuse complaints were lodged againt him afterwards.
Gee, I'd be willing to tell these bishops what the problem is for a lot less than $335,000 -- The Catholic church let sexual deviants whose sexual perversion is sinful behind the pulpits.
gaiety?
