Okay. Ever spank your children (if you have any) or did your parents spank you? Then you violently put your hands on your child’s buttocks. Did you rape him/her?
Ever pick up a child and hold him/her? How to avoid touching the child’s buttocks, or embracing the child? Was it a loving act? What was the intent? Can intent be proven?
None of these priests was sent to prison for "picking up a child and holding him."
These hundreds if not thousands of pederast priests are accused of sexually molesting children, which, according to federal law, is statutory rape.
