First, “Pedophilia” implies a sexual relation with someone before the age of puberty. Recently this has been moved down to sex with someone less than 10 years of age.

The major crimes committed by what you call “pedophile priests” are sodomizing prepubescent and pubescent boys. There is no way around that. This is not pedophilia.

I know the homosexual community is doing everything possible to make sodomizing boys equivalent to heterosexual crimes but the prevalence in the Church and the difference in actual means of sexual penetration cannot be dismissed by sophistry.

I’m not arguing your points. Your points just don’t align with the main points in the article, which is the hypocrisy of the enabling bishops, that’s all. I think most of us share your disgust with the entire spectrum of related issues, including language migration and “double-speak.”
