THe current scandal is not one of pedophilia. It is of homosexuality.

I couldn't agree with you more. It makes me sick that the Catholic Church cannot identify it's problem for fear of "political correctness".

Well the few gay friends I have had are just as decent and morally upright as anyone else and recoil at the thought of sexually abusing an adolescent boy or girl. Personally I don't subscribe to any established church, too much politics and deceit. If you think about it, the Catholic Church has been an instrument of political control and exploitation since nearly the beginning. There are millions of pious, caring and good people involved with the church who have good values and doing the right thing as their motive. But in leadership roles we find politics as usual just in any large organization. I am attracted a lot to Buhddism but can't subscribe to it fully either. I do however respect all religions in their attempt to achieve moral insight and higher thinking. With the exception of Islam. Call me a bigot but I call Islamics a plague on society (based on their actions and treatment of women and anyone who does not subscribe to their way of thinking). Maybe the next pope can call for a new Crusade LOL...
