No "talking points" involved; just paying agenda-free attention to what's going on.

And then you proceed to give an outline of 4 talking points.

Hey, you forgot to use Power Point, change the font to Times New Roman and fax it to "Gays and Lesbians Against Defamation".

Speaking to your first one

1) Priests have molested children of both sexes.

Did you know that Father Cozzens said on Meet the Press that 95-98% of the abuse victims were teen age boys; and that Father McBrien backed him up on that statistic? You know why? Because it is true.

For what possible reason would you want to shift this fact to the doldrums? Hmmm? Why? On your talking points of 2-4, yes the church covered it up, and yes it is the fault of their leadership. But it was homosexual men who raped these lads, and homosexual men who are sexually perverted. It is a word that Paul used in his letters--perverted. Let's say it a few more times, shall we?

Perverted. Perverted. Perverted.

They should be dealt with. I am sick and tired of people apologizing for them.

That's "scapegoating".

All child-molestation is bad and banning homosexuals isn't going to stop all the child-molesting priests.

The Church can ban anyone who ever had a dog named "Spot" for all I care, but they need to tell me how they're going to deal with all child-molesters.
