[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

The vast majority of victims were male teenagers and young adults. Sexually mature males. No, I cannot imagine at 14 years old or older ever cooperating in a homosexual relationhip with an older man. It is beyond comprehension that any normal boy that age would keep going back for more with an adult priest, seminarian, or religious brother. That seems very bizarre. There were very few actual "pedophiles" among the predatory homosexual clergy.

Yet, the vast majority of them did.

How do you explain abused women going back to their abusing husbands? Over and over and over?

You voiced my thoughts. From the beginning I thought it was strange that any teenage male would allow such a thing to occur. To even speak such a politically incorrect view is heresy to most people. I understand that everyone is different. I understand about psychosocial development, etc., but common experience and logic has to at least leave room for some to ask...why would any young male not bust his head open.
