““In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children,” the Pope said.”
That's true. In 1973 the Board of Trustees of the American Psychiatric Association voted to remove homosexuality as a disorder category from the DSM, a decision ratified by a majority (58%) of the general APA. Here the Pope isn't adopting or endorsing that view, he's just reporting it: twisted men seeking sexual gratification with men and even with children was "theorized" (by the secular therapeutic community) as being in the normal range.
Conributing to sensible people's growing suspicion that Psychiatrists are often morally deranged.
Nothing here says the Pope agreed with the secular shrinks.
In the face of the coming wave of tendentious and inaccurate reporting on all things Papal, my advice to fellow FReepers is to perk up your ears when the reporter has a well-earned reputation for honesty, experience, and knowledge, like:
All willing to dig up the facts, all willing to nail the perps.
BTW, I'm all for making the penalties against child molesting swift, sevre, and certain--- and I know most Catholics and certainly most Catholic FRewepers, are in solid agreement on that.
It does help if you correctly vet your sources.
