And yet they continue to DENY that the root cause really is homosexuality among the priesthood. Sexually normal priests do not molest the altar boys!
No. Like other normal men, if they succumb to sins of the flesh they do it with adult women. That's evil and sinful; it's effectively adultery. It's a violation of their vows. It should be taken very seriously.
But it's not a violation of nature. Some evil things are worse than other evil things.
