Ann at her finest

and so much for the liberal argument that if these pedophile priests had wives they’d leave the altar boys alone

[manc]

no , no homosexuals should be allowed to get and buy kids. Homosexuality is a mental disorder.

Those priests were homosexuals, they touched the same sex in a sexual way so not only was this a church problem but also a homosexual problem of which the MSM again tried to cover up and not add to their child abuse figures

[pnh102]

So what happens when a non-celibate priest is found out? Do they generally get the Catholic equivalent of a dishonorable discharge?

Assume all the usual disclaimers here about most gay men not molesting boys ...

Why? Would it not be reasonable to say that most "gay" men have participated in homosexual activity either *as* minors, *with* minors, or both? Perhaps the statistics aren't available to prove it, but the logic is sound, imo.

Indeed, most of the allegations against the priests do not even constitute "sexual relations" on the Democratic Party's definition.

Most of the allegations, as far as I can tell, involved what's known as "consensual activity" in most other contexts. That's what they call it when teenagers are doing anything with a pulse in middle school. "Sex-positive," y'all. Can't be judgmental.

"Even in the midst of the Catholic Church's current scandals -- including decades-old cases -- the Catholic clergy has about the same percentage of perverts as the Yale faculty. There are more than 45,000 priests in America and, so far, 55 exposed abusers. There are 836 tenured professors at Yale, and one proved child molester -- convicted just last month. That's still a higher percentage than the Boy Scouts, but the point is: It's not going to be easy to blame celibacy." - Ann Coulter

This comparison is devastatingly brilliant.

Shame on me. I should know better than to read Ann’s column while eating scrambled eggs.

1 Timothy 4
Instructions to Timothy
1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
