The central problem is homosexuality, not pedophilia.
This is important in several ways.>>>
unfortunately many non-catholic FReepers don’t know the difference. And it’s a big difference by definition and action, a small percentage of bad priests are pedophiles, most are homosexual. And less than 3% of priests abused children, it’s actually 1.8% below the national average of other professions...The teaching profession is 6%.
I know the difference. I believe Bernard Goldberg stated that true pedophiles felt sexual urges towards kids who did not reach puberty yet. While some of the victims of the predatory priests were indeed prepubescents, most were teenagers.
