i have seen the statistics. For pre-pubescent children, gays no more likely to be perps. For teenage victims, gays way way more likely to be perps. Which is the scenerio the church is dealing with. Technically the term is pederasty for teens, pedophilia for pre-pubescent... but popular usage today, they use pedophilia for both?

“but popular usage today, they use pedophilia for both?”

I think it’s a combination of laziness, bigotry, and an unwillingness to admit what the numbers clearly show when you analyze the age of the victims with the perpetrators.

The term “pedophile priest” served the msm well - inaccurate as it was.

They should have said “pederast priest” or “ephebophile priest”
But that might have brought too much attention to the homosexuality.

Another technical term for it is “ephebophilia”.

Technically the term is pederasty for teens,

The term is ephebophilia, post pubescent. Pederasty is a generic term referring to both pre and post pubescent.

The MSM loves to use the term pedophile priest to define all of this abuse. It just sort of roles off the tongue doesn't it?

To bad the MSM don't call this abuse what it really is most of the time which is “homosexual within the church sexually abuse adolescent boy(s).”

The truth would be to much for the gay “community” to handle.

It would also help if the MSM stated that Catholic priests are no more likely to sexually abuse an adolescent than someone outside of the church.

Just another fact that they omit whenever these cases of abuse pop up.
