Yeah, you're partly right on the first point, johnny7. My sons know exactly what to do in such a situation (and they are black belts in karate as well). But here's what happens in a lot of cases - and this is exactly what happened in my sons' Catholic elementary school - about 10 years ago. A homosexual priest got to know the parents of six teenage boys really well - to the point where the parents considered him a good friend. He had the boys spend a lot of time with him at the rectory, where they formed a little club. The parents, who were overjoyed at the priest's attention, told the boys to respect and obey the priest. The priest taught them to respect and obey him as well. He told the boys (who didn't know much about sex) that he had been put in charge of teaching them about sex, and helping them on into manhood. He showed them homosexual pornographic films. He got them to masturbate with him. The priest told them that this was completely normal, and that their fathers were proud of them, but that they should never talk about this stuff. They proceeded on into other depraved sexual activities until the priest was anally raping them about every other week for over six years. All the while, the boys believed this was normal and/or required. - You can see how insidious this was. The abuser often spend months and years setting up teenage boys to become their sex playthings - using them like rags. - Finally, I'd note that for parents who are too naive to warn their boys about such, some organizations, like the Boy Scouts, have kids watch films about the dangers of homosexual molestation. The difference is, the Boy Scouts put kids first. My Church puts kids last.
You said: My Church puts kids last.
My question, why is it your Church if this is true? Doesn't that, in a way, make you an accomplice? If you support that which protects such evil, what is it you are supporting, and why?
