Given that the perpetrators are 95% male and the victims are 33% male, there is an overlap between homosexuality and pedophilia. Some mental health professionals are now classifying pedophilia as a hard-wired "sexual orientation" as they say homosexuality is. Let us remember that the American Psychological Association changed their position on homosexuality from being a sexual disorder to an "equally valid alternate lifestyle" in '73 for political, not clinical reasons.
Thus, regardless of whether the mental health community changes its perspective toward pedophilia, the community's perspective as expressed in the law should not. Persons under the age of 16 or 18 cannot legally consent to sex and those who would violate this by forcing or manipulating a minor child into having sex should still be prosecuted.
People will have all kinds of negative urges; that doesn't mean you indulge them. And when you do so and victimize others, you belong in jail.

I'm shaking my head at this point. It used to be, not so long ago, that people understood that children do not have the life experience to say yes to a sexual relationship, any sexual relationship. They can't agree to something when they don't, or are not able, to foresee the consequences of their agreement. Same with mentally disabled persons, they just can't actually agree to this stuff, because they don't comprehend what they are agreeing to.
Used to be common sense knowledge, now, sexually abusing a weaker member of society is a "right". Please, someone, point me to the off ramp from this culture.

Incrementalism.
The homosexual agenda took homosexuality from a mental disorder viewed by 95% of the population as a perversion and, over the course of 40 or 50 years, made it mainstream, "normal" and a "civil right".
You're a fool if you don't think the same thing can be done with pedophilia.

I think they need to add another B for Bestiality, an I for Incest and an N for Necrophilia.
I mean, as long as we’re throwing away all inhibitions and taboos, social mores, criminal sexual behavior and perversions.

This is exactly where the very dangerous lgbt propaganda leads. It becomes a self justification of whatever horrid sexual desires and urges a person may have and removes any barrier to them feeling compelled not to indulge them and anyone who dares oppose the indulgence of them becomes a bigot. It also is at the very basic level a denial of freewill which is a denial of liberty.

In 2002, Officials in Rome sentenced Gustafson to a life of prayer and penance. In July of 2006, Gustafson was declared disabled and collects disability checks in addition to the support the Pension for Priests gives him. Gustafson also runs his own Leadership consulting firm and the church nudges clients his way.I regularly post stories about pedophile priests... and the FR Catholic hit squad attacks me. They know the truth. They know that their church is corrupt to the core, and they don't care.
Rape of any kind should be returned to its correct status as a capital offense. Convicted rapists should be subject to the death penalty ESPECIALLY pedophile priests who hide behind the church while they rape children.
