From your original site I found one reply that I agree with:
“the overwhelming issue is homosexuals in the priesthood, not pedophilia!
Kenneth M. Fisher, Founder & Chairman, Concerned Roman Catholics of America,Inc”
Again, this is not correct.
Anyone who is attracted to the same sex is homosexual by nature. Age is not important. If you are a guy and you are attracted to men, you are a homosexual. If you are attracted to younger males, you are a homosexual AND a pedophile, a homosexual pedophile.
finally, once again in case you don’t all get it:
Same Sex attraction -—> Homosexual
Attracted to children ——> Pedophile
Same sex attraction to children ——> Homosexual Pedophile.
Man you guys suck all the APA crap trying to make age a factor in determining what’s homosexual and what’s pedophilia. “Age over 18” or whatever arbitrary age you set has never been the way homosexuality has been defined. If you have sex or are attracted to the same sex you are, you are by definition, homosexual. Regardless of age. The very fact you are attracted to others of your gender by its nature make you a homosexual. Age only factors in if you’re ALSO a pedophile. Just like if you like to have sex with the same sex but they’re dead. You’re still a homosexual, but you’re also a Necrophile.
Man folks, use common sense. The argument you’re fallign for was made by homosexuals to try to take the heat off of them. Homosexuality has to do with same sex attraction; pedophilia deals with whether or not you’re attracted to children.

Respectfully, I have to disagree and point out that had the priests kept their homosexuality to themselves, and their hands (and other body parts) away from the boys, the matter would have remained strictly between the homosexual priest and G*d.
The issue is the overt behavior, not the sexual orientation, per se.
