re:
"..Remember, MOST of the priests involved in the scandals were homosexual priests 
preying on teen-age, post-pubescent boys. They are not pedophiles preying on little boys and girls..."

The average ages of the children at time of first encounter were 6-10 years old,
not "post-pubescent".

"Homosexuals" are attracted to those of the same sex and/or of an age that would be
akin to the age that you prefer for your mate. When one is attracted to a child,
it is not "sexual attraction", it is a hunger for power; it is akin to rape. There is a vast
difference. Most pedophiles are heterosexual and attack male or female, whatever
is available. In the case of priests, it would be safe to assume that male children
are more easily available. It has little to do with sexual preference and more to
do with the mind of the rapist.

There is nothing more anti-Christ, than allowing a child to be placed in harm's way.
That is exactly what the Church has done repeatedly, after knowing a member
of clergy had been accused of sexual battery against a child. There is no excuse.

And yet the Church continues to protect the batterers; the molesters; the pedophilic
members of clergy.

I don't know where you got your information, but it is not accurate. The overwhelming majority of incidents were with teen-age boys and with homosexually tended priests, NOT with young children. And, there is a very small percentage, the latest information is 2.3% of priests. While even one abuser is too many, it's not a widespread epidemic the press and liberals would like us to believe.

You obviously have much hostility against the Catholic Church. I will pray for you. God bless.
