ROME, February 22, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Decades of widespread homosexuality in US seminaries had “nothing to do with the sexual abuse of minors,” a key organizer of the Vatican abuse summit said on Friday.
At today’s summit press briefing, LifeSite asked Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta, adjunct secretary for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and papal appointee to the summit’s organizing committee, a follow-up to a question posed yesterday by Italian journalist Sandro Magister.
Magister had asked the Maltese archbishop on Thursday why the word “homosexuality” was completely absent from the summit’s opening day — particularly in light of the fact that over 80 percent of clerical abuse victims were post-pubescent boys.
Archbishop Scicluna responded by saying that “to generalize about categories of persons is never legitimate.” He added that both homosexuality and heterosexuality are “human conditions that we recognize, and that exist, but they aren’t something that really predisposes to sin.”

“Of course it doesn’t. Why would anybody come to that conclusion?”///
Yeh...right...
In other news, playing Russian Roulette has no connection with spontaneous cranial fragmentation.
“And when I say Nothing, I mean Everything.”
I’m sure the Pope accepts their conclusions.
Well, it’s not really a gay subculture, is it?
Are straight males even allowed to apply anymore?
Delusional
Delusional ( or just another liar)
so they admit to the seminary “problem.”
Is that you, Nathan Thurm? :^)
The two are inextricably linked and have been since the dawn of time and man’s fall from grace.
This man is an enemy of God.
Motive: Sexual gratification.
Opportunity: Young people who are seeking help controlling their own urges.
Method: Grooming those for sexual gratification.
Conclusion: Sexual gratification of any kind among the seminary simply reinforces the desires; homosexual gratification simply makes it easier to take the next step in molesting a child or taking advantage of young women, something which the church has a long history of fighting.
In our ‘enlightened’ church which sees little different between homosexual and heterosexual relationships, it seems blatant bias to excuse homosexual activities yet persecute heterosexual activities. If we are open to letting our priests give in to their sexual natures, for all of our sakes, permit marriage.
Ugh, feels sick to have to specify this, but permit straight marriage.
I never would have imagined that the church of my youth would sink this low.
Everything that the gays touch.....
The RCC is doomed, given they will never admit the truth on this, have had decades to, and still refuse to.
They have seared their consciences on this and will never admit the truth.
Time to go. Let them wallow in themselves.
...is a victim of sexual molestation. The only difference is that they've not been caught yet.
Of course not, all the hebiaphelia was carried out by heterosexual priests./s This denial is really pissing off the faithful!
They must say this nonsense thinking it somehow makes things better when in truth it makes them sound like idiots.
hebephilia
Demons lie. It’s what they do. Next...
