Of course its homosexuality.. its not Pedophilia. If it were Pedophilia, first off the victims would not be 12 to 17.. they'd be much younger... and secondly if it was purely pedophilia there would be female victims as well... Priests have access to young girls even more so now than ever in the past.
Excellent point!
As unpleasant as the topic is to think about, there is a logic to your post. From what I have heard of pedophilia there is indeeda concept of a child being "too old" while till a child. And I have frequently wondered why we never hear of girls being abused.
Whatever it is, or is called, of course it has to be rooted out.
But knowing and naming the problem also helps make sure the correct tools are used to fight it.
Children are at stake. That's the important thing.
good points but never forget the homosexual lobby is trying to say that the male on male sex was not homosexuality.
This is truth. The American homosexuals culture absolutely fixates on young men age twelve to seventeen and they do not believe that it is pedophilia; rather, they think it is "normal" homosexuality to desire boys this young.
Secondly if it was purely pedophilia there would be female victims as well... Priests have access to young girls even more so now than ever in the past.
More truth. Hetero priests don't tend to violate their vows with young girls, they do it with mature women who generally keep the secret. While the violation of the vows of chasity is serious (and a sin), I can't believe that it is of the same quality as violating one's vows and committing the additional detestable sin of homosexuality.
As a Catholic I see the need to purge our Church of homosexuals. We do not need them and they do not need us. If they wish spiritual enlightenment, there are other churchs which will welcome them. Let some other Church suffer their pollution.
Great point(s).
