Some groups, such as Dignity/USA, a national homosexual Catholic activist organization, said this week that they are worried that those accusations could hinder the country's homosexual rights movement.

One can only hope.

Let me get this straight. Male priests have been accused and proven guilty of sexually molesting male children (pre-teen and teenage).

Homosexuality means having and seeking sexual contacts with members of the same gender.

Priests such as the Shanley fellow are openly gay.

And the talking heads and activists are still trying to convince the rest of us that homosexuality had nothing to do with what has happened in the Catholic church.

What am I missing in this convoluted "logic"?

And when it comes to numbers, actual number wise, I've read that there are more heterosexual child abuse cases; but when it comes to percentage of the population (homosexual or heterosexual) homosexual abuse is greater than heterosexual.

In the long run, this press campaign against the Catholic Church will backfire. Instead of weakening the Church it will strengthen it, as the Church begins to get its act together and clamp down on the left-wing free-love ideologues who have managed to make such a mess out of our chanceries and seminaries. At the same time, it will inevitably wake people up to the real significance of NAMBLA and the homosexual activists. It's not Catholics who have revealed the dark side of homosexuality; it's the Boston Globe and its fellow presstitutes. They are losing control of their propaganda campaign.

The groups — the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation — said the church hierarchy's attempts to "scapegoat" homosexual priests is wrong and takes the focus off finding solutions to the problem.

I don't recall reading of any abuse cases involving priests and underage girls, although there may be some. All cases I'm familiar with involve underage boys. Has any Freeper kept a scorecard on priests; homosexual pedophiles vs heterosexual pedophiles?

It looks like the above groups are the people guilty of taking "the focus off finding solutions to the problem." In prestidigitation, it's called misdirection.

If I were the editor, this headline writer would be out of work. "Refuse" is the word that was wanted, not "refute."

Research has shown there is no correlation between homosexuality and child abuse, Ms. Duddy said.

Perhaps that is because homosexual researchers don't classify their sexual contact with minors as "abuse." The stories spilling out of the Church are showing a shocking correlation between homosexual priests and sex with minors compared to those of heterosexual tendency.

What it teaches is that being homosexual isn't a sin, but that being a sexually active homosexual is.

It also says that it is a sin for a heterosexual priest to be sexually active. That's what celibacy means.

This is from "Dignity USA" 's website:

This is why they are wrong.
They inject a purple triangle into the cross that Jesus died on, to use as a symbol for themselves. Christ died so sins could be paid, so people would not have to face judgement for the penalty of sin. They mock this. Using that cross for a symbol implies the Body of Christ--but that also means repentance---or "turning around."

These people do not wish to repent, they want to be congratulated for their sins.

That cross is about the suffering of the Son of Man. But they make it into "It's all about ME!" Well, it isn't all about them.

God told us to choose this day who you will serve. If they wish to ignore His promises, that is their misfortune. But, don't take the innocent down to hell with you. Leave the children alone. Stop teaching "tolerance" and "diversity" in the classrooms. Stop treating innocence like a disease to be crushed with your videos on "fisting" or "how to lick a condom."

Their strategy is to be a VICTIM. But they are not victims, are they? No, they are predators..............................................................................................
and THAT is what they don't want anyone to find out.

Anyone remember watching C-SPAN in April of 1993 when they carried the Gay March on Washington? Here is the list of 10 Platform demands they were seeking at the time:

1.) Elimination of all laws prohibiting sodomy, transgendered expression (cross-dressing) and sado-masochism.

2.) Lower the age-of-consent for homosexual and heterosexual sex.

3.) Implementation of homosexual, bisexual and transgendered curriculum at all levels of education.

4.)Legalization of homosexual marriages.

5.) Custody, adoption and foster care rights for homosexual, lesbians and transgendered people; re-definition of family to include the full diversity of all family structures.

6.) Access to all programs of the Boy Scouts of America.

7.) Affirmative action for homosexuals and lesbians.

8.) Inclusion of sex-change operations under a universal health care plan.

remarks do nothing but create misunderstanding

those remarks create misunderstandings of what it is these groups desire to be "understood" which is to say the remarks are more an approximation of reality which is not what the remarks should be understood as presenting.

Most of the accused priests are homosexuals by definition; e.g. a homosexual is one who is erotically attracted by a member of the same sex. The fact that many have involved youth is merely a manifestation of the fact that homosexuality is a decadence disorder; e.g. Those who have chosen that type of behavior find that they require ever increasing stimulation to reach the same level of arousal. The aforementioned is true of any vice addiction.
