Your comments are remarkable. So, I'll just post them again so we can all reflect on how it is ok for teens starting around 14 to be molested by priests

This is about the liberals attacking the church; which is why the remarks about married priests is important. You see, if we allow married priests, then the liberals in the church hirarchy can take over (and allow abortion, gay marriage, divorce, women priests etc). Ironically, it is the same liberals in the middle management who (according to Andrew Greeley and Andrew Sullivan) allowed gay priests to be ordained and serve during the 1970's and 80s. Most of these incidents occured then, when some gay priests hit on older teenagers. (pedophiles are usually pre teen sexual predators; many of the accusations, if you use the math, are from kids who were over 13 or 14: where most gays become sexually active). A married priesthood won't work, as the numerous but rarely reported cases in the Episcopal church proves. Indeed, since some liberal church seminaries have thirty to fifty percent gay students, one wonders where the reports are in those churches? But of course, those churches don't oppose abortion or the pc agenda.

FYI: Newsweek had a long story about a year ago about sex without condom. At the end of the story, the young man found out he was HIV Positive ON HIS 14th BIRTHDAY. Not one word in the long story about pedophilia, or even a hint that such things were wrong--even tho the protagonist was 14.

A survey of inner city teenaged boys in the Journal of the AMA shows that 10-20 percent had homosexual sex with older men by age 16. So I doubt that the priests were doing all the seduction. And many "gay" prostitutes are 14 to 16 year olds who hustle sex to buy drugs.

Maybe you should wonder why only priests are being accused, not the teachers, ministers, social workers etc.
