I am so confused. Apparently the PC position is that Priests are all a bunch of pedophiles - NOT that there's anything WRONG with that.

We live in a world gone mad.

Here we are in the middle of a media driven circus concerning gay priests abusing boys and we must not notice the obvious...

If you're a homosexual man and you brag about seducing teenage boys, and your name is Harvey Milk and you live in San Francisco, you may one day have a city holiday in your honor.

On the other hand, if you're a Catholic priest, your diocese may be sued into the ground (even for abuse committed after they've removed you from the priesthood!) and churches and schools built by the blood, sweat, and tears of Catholic laypeople who never met you and never molested any kids may be taken by the courts to make lawyers very, very rich.

Makes perfect sense, I think ... /s

Well, if you've noticed, all the male priests involved seemed to be involved with young altar boys, even though girls have been serving on the altar for at least 20 years now. For that matter, if celibacy were the issue, why aren't their more housekeepers stepping forward with stories to tell?

Just sayin'...

I think most folks have understood this to be a homosexual problem rather than a pedophile problem.

A pervert is a pervert.

The purpose of reproductive organs is to reproduce a species, not to get one’s rocks off on whatever one can find.

Perversions and other mental diseases seldom are isolated; they tend to run in groups. Anyone with half a brain knows that.

I defend the Roman Catholic Church on this one.

The 2002 definitive John Jay study exhaustively documents the sex abuse scandal by priests in the Catholic Church in America. This is Exhibit 1 in support of Cardinal Bertone’s candid statement that “homosexuality is a pathology which is linked directly to sexual abuse of children”, and specifically is the primary cause of the sex abuse scandal in the Church by gay priests abusing young boys. Only truly ignorant deniers can profess that a gay priest abusing young boys has nothing to do with homosexuality?! Excerpts from the Executive Summary of the John Jay report:

    * The majority of priests with allegations of abuse were ordained between 1950 and 1979 (68%). Priests ordained prior to 1950 accounted for 21.3% of the allegations, and priests ordained after 1979 accounted for 10.7% of allegations.

    *Over 79% of these priests were between 25 and 29 years of age when ordained. For priests whose age at the time of the first alleged abuse was reported, the largest group—over 40% was between 30 and 39. An additional 20% were under age 30, nearly 23% were between 40 and 49, and nearly 17% were over 50.

    *The majority of priests (56%) were alleged to have abused one victim, nearly 27% were alleged to have abused two or three victims, nearly 14% were alleged to have abused four to nine victims and 3.4% were alleged to have abused more than ten victims. The 149 priests (3.5%) who had more than ten allegations of abuse were allegedly responsible for abusing 2,960 victims, thus accounting for 26% of allegations. Therefore, a very small percentage of accused priests are responsible for a substantial percentage of the allegations.

    *The largest group of alleged victims (50.9%) was between the ages of 11 and 14, 27.3% were 15-17, 16% were 8-10 and nearly 6% were under age 7. Overall, 81% of victims were male and 19% female. Male victims tended to be older than female victims. Over 40% of all victims were males between the ages of 11 and 14.

    *In the 51% of cases where information was provided, half of the victims who made allegations of sexual abuse (2,638, or 25.7% of all alleged victims) socialized with the priest outside of church. Of those who did socialize with the priests who allegedly abused them, the majority had interactions in the family’s home. Other places of socialization included in the church, in the residence of the priest, and in various church activities.

I’m confused as well. I point out to libs that 90%+ of abuse cases are homosexual, but apparantly, it just doesn’t register, as we are not supposed to know that. Just remember the party line - “the Church is BAD, but don’t bother to look beyond that.”

Politicians condemned Pope Benedict's number two man on Wednesday for calling homosexuality a "pathology" and linking it directly to sexual abuse of children.

The majority of male children that are molested are molested by adult males. Male sex with a male is homosexuality. Therefore the link is accurate. Why is the word homosexual never used in the reports of a priest molesting a boy?
