I have been dismayed by the lack of calling homosexual predation what it is.

Yes --- and something the State as well as the Church has been guilty of. I think everyone needs to remember that these pedophiles were allowed by both the hierarchy and the government to continue their perversions against helpless boys. The sex offender lists where pedophiles have been released to live in neighborhoods with children are just as damning of the State as what has occurred within the Church.

I think that is the most important point made on this thread. The innocent were not protected and the guilty were not apprehend. The church was too busy passing judgement on their congregations sins, while the state was busy passing the buck.
