Men going after young boys are homosexual pedophiles.
They can ask us to not believe our eyes, but the truth is the truth.

They diddled little boys but they aren’t queers? Raping little kids is a result of poor training? This is asinine on its face.

...the problem was largely the result of poor seminary training and insufficient emotional support for men ordained in the 1940s and 1950s, who were not able to withstand the social upheaval they confronted as pastors in the 1960s...

BS

First of all, "poor training" and "insufficient emotional support" are not going to push a normal individual to feel up an altar boy. However, poor screening of seminary candidates for deviant behavior (ie homosexuality) will result in people who are predisposed to commit such horrible acts.

Second, the "social upheaval" of the 1960s really didn't kick into gear until the last part of the decade and into the early 70s. Most of the abuse cases came from the mid-60s.

Studies that gloss over the problem with explanations of "feelings" and "society made me do it" do not help the Church.

I'm catching a whiff of something...

...something that smells a LOT like...

...BS!

...the problem was largely the result of poor seminary training and insufficient emotional support for men ordained in the 1940s and 1950s...

What? "Poor" seminary training? What happened, did one of their texts on 'Morality and Ethics in Religion' have a typo?

"Oh, you know what? It turns out, that all this time the word 'NOT' was supposed to be in front of the word 'acceptable' in the sentence: 'It is absolutely acceptable to use your position of moral and spiritual authority to prey on children, destroy their innocence and use them to satisfy your own perverted sexual desires#39;, contained in this text book. Boy is THAT embarrassing. I sure hope no one misunderstood the real meaning of that sentence..."

Seriously, though, I didn't need seminary training, good, poor or otherwise, in order to know, positively KNOW that it is supremely EVIL to do such horrible things to ANYONE, especially children. "Poor" seminary training and/or 'inefficient emotional support' can not even BEGIN to explain what these men did.

Thanks for posting. Do you (or does anyone reading this) have a direct link to the article? The links in the OP only go to yahoo.com.

Thanks,

I would think that the number one problem for the caring, sensitive, unavailable, all male Priesthood would be that women would be throwing themselves at them, some consciously, and many more unconsciously, I doubt that the 12 year old boys were throwing themselves at them.

Researchers commissioned by the nation's Roman Catholic bishops to analyze the pattern of clergy sex abuse have concluded that homosexuality, celibacy and an all-male priesthood did not cause the scandal.

Aren't we seeing history repeat itself here? I stopped reading right after this sentence, scratched my head and wondered why the Roman Catholic bishops commissioned anybody to tell them what caused the scandal. This really bothers me because it suggests that after this saga has dragged on intermittently for almost a decade with hundreds if not thousands of cases, they still don't know why this disaster was visited on the Church.

Isn't this a repetition of the worldly, nonspiritual reasoning which caused this problem to snowball in the first place? Wasn't it the clueless bishops who swallowed hook, line and sinker the modern psychobabble handed down by so called "experts" that the molesters and perverts could be counseled, cured and rehabilitated by shrinks and other practitioners of pseudo-medical cures? Wasn't it this that led them to place these men back in ministry after their ticket had been punched by the appropriate rehab center? Yet they're still running after these secular "experts" and asking "duh.........what went wrong??"

You went wrong, you clueless apparatchiks!! When are you going to get it?? This scandal was caused principally by one thing and one thing only and you are the culprits. It was caused by the wholesale failure of Catholic bishops and seminary rectors to follow the directives of their own Church about who may be admitted to seminaries and ordained to the priesthood. You were warned repeatedly.........homosexuality is disordered and men who suffer from this disorder should not be ordained!!

Yet here you are, still asking for more studies, still drinking in the Kool-Aid provided by "experts", still hanging on their every word and swallowing their shtick uncritically.

What a total waste of money!

And rain doesn’t make the crops grow.

I find it amazing that the report avoids saying what is obvious when you read the report. It alarms me that homosexuality has found such an inroad that speaking any truth about it is feared.
