To address an institutional crisis it makes perfect sense to commission a study as to the nature and scope of of the crisis. The John Jay report made it plain that the problem was homosexuality, not pederasty, and that's most of us would have assumed. What the report did
not say was that the Church is okay with clergy engaging in sex with boys so long as they had been confirmed. That outrageous claim is a fabrication of your bigotry, as you were unable to clip such a proclamation from the report (you just sent me a link to the whole report).
Knowing that Free Republic is loaded with Papists such as me, people who agree with you on about 95% of the issues of the day, perhaps you'll reconsider your unsubstantiated fantasies about our Church.
......The John Jay report made it plain that the problem was homosexuality, not pederasty, .... Sure it did, that was the purpose of the 'report'.... period... and that is exactly what I 'attempted' to state. Truly amazing how unaccountable these 'fake' holy men can become when the 'light' gets directed upon them. Now .... HELLO ... exactly to whom do those pre-pubescence members file an accusation when they were abused?
What amount of money has the Catholic church paid out to its own victims???
