What do you think has been going on? We're practically to the point now where anyone -- priest or not, male or female, married or not -- has to have a criminal background check to have anything to do with kids in a Catholic setting, and we are at the point where certain lawyers are openly trolling for men who will accuse priests of fondling them. (Whether the accusation is true or not is beside the point. The money is there. My diocese recently settled for an unknown amount with victims who were abused by a man after he had been expelled from the priesthood!! If you can figure out where the justice is in that, please let me know. It was evidently cheaper to settle than to keep paying lawyers to fight it.)
Meanwhile, there's this for you to chew on. Notice the poster's comments on the number of public school sexual molestation cases versus cases involving the Catholic clergy.
The same thing that's always been going on. The Catholic church has always turned a blind eye to homosexuals, and now they are actually teaching "queer studies" in a Catholic school. I didn't make that up. You can't make this stuff up!
How do you explain the Catholic church offering a minor in queer studies, in the midst of a scandal involving homosexual pedophilia among the priesthood? Do you consider that to be a good idea? What were they thinking; "hey, I have an idea, let's quench the fears of our congregations regarding pedophile priests by teaching queer studies?" WTF?
