Bears repeating:
There is every reason to believe that a conservative reform replacing dissenting or milquetoast bishops with solid, no-nonsense men; making the seminaries safe places for heterosexuals loyal to Church teaching; and restoring the priesthood to a corps of chaste, faith-filled disciples would result in a tide of good men seeking holy orders.

You won't hear it asked in the media, but,
where are the female victims of abuse by priests?It seems that it was esclusively little boys.
Male homosexuals are the perps.
That's the main fact.

Actually, the numbers for this are running about equal to the cases of abuse in the general population. Despite being only 2-3% of the population, male homosexuals are responsible for 70-80% of all cases of sexual abuse of minor children.

The Gay Question...is easily answered thusly: YES - it is true, unmitigated perversion; NO - it should not be encouraged, engendered, or afforded "protected" or "privileged" status; YES - it is a choice, and all sodomaniacs could end their faggotry in an instant if they should choose to do so; NO - people who call it what it is are not "phobes", as the perverts constantly aver, but rather, we declare our opposition, disgust, and uncompromising disapproval; YES - the perverts very much want our children, and we would be nothing less than negligent fools not to acknowledge this fact. In short, "Just say NO...the the Rainbow!"

ephebophiles -- adults who are sexually attracted to post-pubescent youths, generally aged 12 to 17
pederasty -- practice of anal intercourse with a boy
pedophilia -- sexual percersion in which children are the preferred sexual object
Victims of clergy abuse -- 90-to-98 percent of them are teenage boys

Another organization in which adult men have the same access to young boys has no such scandal - The Boy Scouts do not allow homosexuals, and, obviously, with good reason.

No, this is chiefly a scandal about unchaste or criminal homosexuals in the Catholic priesthood, and about far too many in Church leadership disinclined to deal with the problem
or, worse, who may in some cases be actively involved in the misconduct. Since homosexuality in the church has been covered up for so many years, it would result in their ascendancy to bishops, cardinals etc. and of course a welcoming of new young seminarians with which to cultivate their lust.

I love Rod Dreher's writing, but I disagree with the point that normal heteroseuxal men would never go after teenage boys. The vast majority of heterosexual men would not. However, men who never have sex are NOT the same as women who never have sex, and there *is* such a thing as "situational homosexuality," where some men will basically go after anything that sits still long enough if they are sexually frustrated enough.

"We're learning a significant lesson from all this," says Dr. Fitzgibbons. "We have to protect our young. The protection of children and teenagers is more important than the feelings of homosexuals."
Amazing the Boy Scouts seemed to have learned it a lot sooner. Pretty sad

The other thread closed, so I'll reply here. You are correct in that the Latin definition for "ephebe" is a young man (derived from "ephebus"), but the Greek definition for "ephebos" is youth.
Check out: Philianews.org
Without such a definition, how would we refer to an older man attracted to a 14 or 15 year old girl (who, I swear, looked 20)? I will agree, however, that almost all of the references I seen for ephebophilia denote a man-boy relationship.

They are, rather, "ephebophiles" adults who are sexually attracted to post-pubescent youths, generally aged 12 to 17. And their victims have been almost exclusively boys.Why complicate things? Let's use the term the gay subculture itself uses to describe gay men who have this particular taste: chicken hawks.

The media ran wild with this story because they thought it was a great opportunity to bash the Catholic Church and its teaching of abstinence. Unfortunately for them, it is gonna turn into a great opportunity to bash the promiscuity and sickness of the gay lifestyle.

Priest + alterboy = male + male = homosexual; NUFF SAID!
