It’s pyschological term semantics, I can’t stand the people who do what you say.
If you are attracted to members of the same sex, no matter what age, it’s a homosexual attraction.
If they are young kids it’s also pedophilia, it’s sexual attraction to a child.
What gender you’re attracted to is a distinction, and what age you are attracted to is a separate distinction.
Agreed FRiend but I’ve had countless flame wars with folks right here on FR who tell me there are no pedophiles in the Catholic church.
The John Jay report, incomplete as it is, identified the victims as:
22% were younger than age 10
51% were between the ages of 11 and 14
27% were between the ages to 15 to 17 years
It would appear that the perpetrators are...pedophiles.
