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 SEXUAL ORIENTAION OF THE PRIEST DOES NOT MATTER!

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.

False. A lie. Try again.

Most victims are abused by someone known and close to them. Being attacked by a random neighbor or family member doesn't make national news. Accusations against churches make headlines and have provided billions in compensation, even in cases that could never be proven.

Most informed non-Catholics admit that the Catholic church statistically was no more prone to abuse than any other church.

Now since all of these attacks against the church, I can't even volunteer at my church school without having been fingerprinted and with a backround check.

"But based on the surveys and studies conducted by different denominations over the past 30 years, experts who study child abuse say they see little reason to conclude that sexual abuse is mostly a Catholic issue.

"We don't see the Catholic Church as a hotbed of this or a place that has a bigger problem than anyone else," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "I can tell you without hesitation that we have seen cases in many religious settings, from traveling evangelists to mainstream ministers to rabbis and others."

Your posting is a smoke screen intended to keep the focus on the Catholic Church instead of the homosexual community and the various Protestant denominations in which molestation and abuse rates are three to ten times higher than within the Catholic Church.
