My point is that the Church is realizing that homosexual priests are the true problem. You use the term pedophile, but that is not an accurate term given that most of the victims are post-pubescent teen boys. It is a gay problem and the Boy Scouts were right. This priest was forced to resign because he was an actively gay priest even though no abuse was alleged. Other articles posted have shown that the most likely reason the abuser priests have not been kicked out have been because of blackmail against Bishops. The dioceses you will see taking action are the ones where the bishop does not fear blackmail (they have nothing to hide or have been good at silencing others). The dioceses taking no action are the ones were the Bishop is most likely compromised.

I agree! The reason I used "Pedophile" is because in many cases that is exactly what it was. And I also agree that it is a gay issue at the core.
