Again, most of the priest cases are actually NOT pedophilia, as they overwhelmingly involve teenage boys. What the liberal media doesn't want to admit is that even with the priests, it's a GAY problem. So they conveniently twist the truth (using the term "pedophilia") to fit their agenda and use it to promote their rabid bigotry against the Catholic Church.

When a prominent rabbi was recently caught abusing teenage girls, he was exposed in Jewish newspapers and immediately lost his job.

They're trying to pull some slick language camouflage over us by playing the pedophile/homosexual false dichotomy. A male who gets sexual arousal and satisfaction from other males is a homosexual, and if he prefers young boys, the characterization of "pedophile," accurate as it is, is purely a secondary categorization.
