“You can hammer that all day long if you want. I cannot tell everything I know, but I can say there are teens who don’t care who they have sex with, who exploit sick, perverted adults for power, money, and drugs, just as they exploit others younger than they are for power and sex.”

Priests confessed to being habitual sexual predators on not just teens but even on children as young as seven years old.

But now it’s the children that enticed the perverted clerics into sin? I’ve heard pedophiles claim that their victims enticed them but I thought the foolishness of such an arguement would be obvious. Guess not.

You are willfully ignoring that these were not CHILD victims, they were teens. You evidently did not read my post.

I have never blamed a raped child for ANYTHING. But teens, every day, commit crimes up to and including murder, in order to gain money, drugs, power, sexual gratifications, etc. Are you one of those who call the Columbine murderers “children”?

Yet, teens do exploit adults to get what they want. Exploiting gay men for money, power, drugs, and sexual satisfaction is a common occurance. I’m not blaming VICTIMS, I’m blaming the deviant homosexual subculture.

Please. Ephebophiles. TEENS. It's not a foolish argument, it's reality. If you're going to bash the Church, do so from a position of REALITY. In case you've forgotten, we send CHILDREN (young adults) into war.

A definition: (From wikipedia, but it's accurate)

Because most late adolescents have physical characteristics near (or in other cases, identical) to that of full-grown adults, some level of sexual attraction to persons in the age group is common among adults of all sexual orientations.[6] The term ephebophilia is used only to describe the preference for mid-to-late adolescent sexual partners, not the mere presence of some level of sexual attraction. Such a distinct preference for individuals in mid or late adolescence is not generally regarded by psychologists as a pathology when it does not interfere with other major areas of one's life. Ephebophilia is not listed by name as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR), or the ICD-10, nor is it listed as a paraphilia. This is as opposed to pedophilia, which is categorized as a specific disorder in those systems with its own diagnostic criteria. However, ephebophilia can sometimes be diagnosed as a disorder if it results in dysfunction or exploitative behavior, either under the DSM specification 309.2, "Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified", or under the ICD-10 F65.8 "Other disorders of sexual preference".[14][15]

Lying about Catholics again? Where did I say it was CHILDREN who enticed the perverted clerics into sin? I didn't. I said it was TEENS in the perverted subculture of homosexuality. If you need help reading, ask a friend, or a member of your family.
