Wasn't that the whole point of the article?

The article is either obtuse or deliberately dishonest.

Given that they deliberately took Dr. Szasz's remarks on the nature of mental "illness" out of context to smear libertarians makes me think it is the later.

FYI, Szasz was arguing that the offending priests should have been charged with crimes rather than placed in treatments centers as they were not suffering from "illness" but were criminals.

Szasz's article is here :

Additionally, the basic point "The issue is not sexual attraction; it is sexual action..." ought to be considered an obvious truism. I could have sworn that I'd read dozens of threads on this forum denouncing, in the most strident terms, the concept of "Thought Crime".
