The real fear is that innocent priests will be harmed too. With all the media over-saturation of this scandal it makes for dangerous times being a Catholic priest. I've heard a lot of very sick things being said by the ignorant Catholic haters out there who would spread the undeserved title of "pedophile" to every priest.

Sad, what a few homos can do to tarnish everything that is good. Whether it's the Catholic Church, the institution of marriage, our public schools, or the Boy Scouts, you find the filthy, disgusting debauchery of the homosexuals trying to destroy it. I say restore the sodomy laws and throw them all in prison together, and build this prison in the Fiji Islands.

Exactly ---- there are evil ones trying to allow pedophiles as boy scout leaders. It's in many areas of our society.

The decent priests would NOT be tarnished or suspected it they, themselves, distanced themselves from the homosexuals in their midst and ceased defending them. Only the decent priests can save their own image with the faithful and in the media. Where is the outcry from within the priesthood if the majority is not homosexual and does not condone what they are doing the Church?

It's the same as the 'good Muslim' argument. IF there are any they are allowing the evil among them to define them in the public eye. If they do not draw a clear line between themselves and the evil, they suffer the same judgement.
I could scream when I see the huge effort made to differentiate between homosexual priests( a contradiction in terms IMO) and pedophile priests. What is the percentage of molested females??

WHAT sex is targeted by these priests?? MALE children and adolescents. Straight pedophiles molest the opposite sex, homosexuals molest the same sex. I will not accept a priest on the altar, representing Jesus and pontificating to me, who is having sex with fellow priests or other men; and I don't think many other Catholics are 'ok' with that either.

The Catholic Church is riddled with homosexuals, all the way up- I fear- to the Vatican. Gay Bishops have been covering for gay priests, Gay Cardinals have been covering for gay Bishops. They have been hiding in the ranks of the priesthood for generations- now many are old and wield considerable power. What if 'cleaning the ranks' involved 50% or more? I don't think they are willing to do that- and until/unless they do the Church as it is now is doomed,IMO.

My family has been Roman Catholic as far back as I can trace them-( the 1500's) and, as sad as it is to say, I wouldn't let any child in my family alone with one. Hypocrisy of the highest order is being practiced by every priest who does not CONDEMN homosexual/pedophiles in the priesthood. The 'good' are being tarnished by their own inaction against evil. Let them suffer the consequences.
