I guess that is the point.
IF the RC Church really has an issue with homosexuality and pedophilia (but I repeat myself), rather than the embarrassment it causes them, then why haven’t they come down on the miscreants with the full force of Church Authority?
The church doesn't have a problem with homosexuality and pedophilia. It's condoned and protected at the highest levels by their fellow homosexuals and pedophiles who have in the upper echelons. What they have is a public relations issue. That's all they care about. They want this swept under the rug and to go away so they can go back to molesting the children of those stupid enough to entrust their children to a priest. Since the church is unable/unwilling to fix this, we need laws that prohibit priests from ever being alone with a child.
