The connection involves sex - - both the scandalous kind that is perpetrated in secret and against the wishes of those involved and the lurid kind by consenting partners which makes a mockery of love and renders the act as dirty and sordid. Both types affect the persons taking part and the community in which they take place.

Well ... I'd figured the connection involved sex and, specifically, sex that was outside the union of marriage and somehow perverse.

Now what's the connection you made between these two perverted sex acts?

I don't know what you mean by my making a connection. I explained what the two types of sex were that were involved in the discussion in this thread- - the stunt that took place at St. Patrick's and the abuse by priests. What else is there to discuss? My very first reply, which was meant to be humorous, compared the two. How is that considered an attack? You know, this all started by my posting that remark. How this grew into an accusation of heresy I don't understand. How people could be so sensitive I don't understand. Like I said originally, I'm going to tune into Jay Leno tonight and get his take on this. I'm sure his comments won't be viewed as an attack upon the church.
Also, I just learned that a joke someone posted on this thread was pulled. Was it so bad that it called for censorship? What has become of us that we can't see some humor in things? No one here is condemning anything- - -except my posts.
