"Some were, some weren't. Why should that matter?"
Or were you replying to # 11, "Weren't they teenagers too?"
If so, I think it might matter. If one teenager gropes another in the context of a consensual making out situation, that seems to me different from an older man molesting a teenage girl, or even some teenage jerk just groping some girl with whom he has no romantic relationship.
It also piqued my curiosity, in that I cannot imagine my 54 year old self touching a teenage girl, and I wondered how often that sort of thing happened.
No, I was not talking about "consensual making out sessions." However, since you bring that up, a number of the cases involving priests seem to have been "consensual" except that the youth involved was not legally capable of consent.
If I was touched inappropriately when I was 16, and need millions to recover, whether the touch-er was 17 or 22 or 30 is not *practically* relevant, although it's legally relevant.
The bigger point is that the genuine cases of "abuse," as any reasonable person would understand it, by priests, are easily lost amid cases of "he tried a grope, now give me money," especially when the media wishes to exaggerate "abuse" and conceal "pretty ordinary behavior of homosexuals."
