"pedophilia and sodomy? The Catholic church"
There were very, very few cases of pedophilia involved in the recent scandals.
There is disagreement on the number, but somewhere between 80 and 99 percent of the cases were ordinary, garden-variety homosexuals doing what ordinary, garden-variety homosexuals have always been known for--preying on teenage boys.
And when I say "always," I mean back to the dawn of recorded history. There's no way of knowing whether they limited themselves to people over 21 before that.
The John Jay Study, done for the USCCB, said that 80 percent involved homosexual predatory behavior, 10% was pedophilia, and 10% was heterosexual predatory behavior.
