Good to point out that this article was not written in response to the current crisis (a/k/a 2009-10), but as a result of the US crisis (a/k/a 2000-2002).

Child sex predators gravitate to organizations and professions where they have access to other people's children, primarily teaching and religion.
This is not rocket science. Parents more than room-temperature IQ and/or common sense keep their children away from public schools and organized religions.

"Parents...keep their children away from public schools and organized religions." Most of the abuse occurs IN the family as I understand it.

From the article you posted:
A 1988 study of 229 convicted child molesters published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that 86% of pedophiles described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.9
Are you trying to say that 86% of families are headed by "homosexual or bisexual" people?

Many homosexuals tend to focus on self and youth.
Pedophelia can be a natural extension of a narciccism that focuses on physical beauty and maintaining youth - a trait homosexual pedophiles share with many heterosexual pedophiles.
There are other causes outside this paradgm however, such as sadists who will go after a child to hurt them regardless of gender, or stoners who get aroused and look for any place to get relief when they are high.
The biggest problem within the Church is not that there were people in it that sought sexual gratification from children. That the church did not immediately focus on healing those children and making them whole - and still does not - is the problem. A very, very, big problem.
Churches overall now do a credible job of trying to weed out and stop pedophiles. Churches overall now do a crappy job of healing hurt children and still often tend to make the children feel outcast and blamed.

During the current crisis, homosexual activists within and outside the Catholic Church have done everything they could to divert attention away from even the possibility that there may be a higher percentage of homosexuals among the priesthood than in the general public, and that this may be the root of the problem of child sexual molestation within the Church.
THE ABOVE ARTICLE IS A SMOKESCREEN!
THE SEXUAL ORIENTAION OF THE PRIEST DOES NOT MATTER!
CHILDREN OF BOTH SEXES WERE MOLESTED BY ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS AND ROME DID NOTHING EXCEPT MOVE THE CHILD MOLESTING PRIESTS TO ANOTHER DIOCESE!!

It is much harder to get a prosecution and conviction when the abuse occurs within the home.

I get angry when the homosexual man with teen boy excuse is used by the apologists on this forum. See any teen boys in this photo? They are pedophiles plain and simple.

That is highly debatable.
Few homes have the financial resources that are available to the bureaucracies of schools and religions to bypass, cover up, reassign, and continue to perpetuate their abuse.

” All credible evidence discounts any link between the molestation of children and homosexuality.
Now that’s a grim bit of humor. Rather like saying a drunk can be entrusted with a wine cellar since he favored beer over wine.

Okay, I tell you what.
You go to your local rehab facility, AA hall, what have you and find and talk to people who were sexually abused as children. Or look online at sites like Pandora's Aquarium and After Silence. Talk to a lot of people and see where most of their abuse occured. After YOU do your homework, I will debate you as much as you wish.
