Considering the continuing friendliness of the LA Times to Mahony, I wouldn't discount the possibility that they're running this to reinforce the idea that the scandal was basically pedophilia, whereas some 90%+ of the victims were adolescent boys. Anything to get the focus off homosexuality!

Good point. Thanks. I've steered clear of reading these abuse stories in the past and have just taken everyone's word that the majority of them involved homosexual pederasts. Am I right in believed that that is still the case?

Yes, it is. When the media keep referring to "abuse of children," you have to remember how fluid a term "child" is to them. Remember all those "children" dying of gunshots? The vast majority of whom are 16-, 17-, 18-year-old drug dealers and gang members? They're doing the same thing here. (Sort of the opposite of what they did when women's lib took exception to the word "girl" -- I actually saw a newspaper reference to "the 13-year-old woman.")

Wasn't it the Cheshire Cat who said something like "A word means what I want it to mean"? His picture should be printed on press cards!
