Because no Baptist minister or Jewish rabbi has ever, ever been caught doing anything like this. /s

I can suggest setting up a fund to relocate him to your fine state.

I am from California. But I may be relocating as soon.

So, the Rev. W. Jeffrey Paulish could now be welcomed as a public school teacher, in case he needs a new career.

Agreed.

I’ve never seen the study that shows that priests actually have a higher rate of pedophilia than the general pop. (Not saying it’s not possible, but I’ve never seen it, and yet so many people, mostly non-Catholics, seem to believe it already been proven to be so.)

This wasn’t even a case of pedophilia. It was statutory rape/ephebophilia. If this had happened a few months later it wouldn’t even be an actual crime.

Isn’t the age of consent in Pennsylvania only 16?

Haha, yep. I first heard that one at summer camp in 1993. But the store was K-Mart. ;-)

Sexual attraction/contact with a someone who is pubescent or post-pubescent is never pedophilia.

If a man sees a beautiful 15-year-old girl walk by with a fully mature body and he feels a tad aroused, he is not a pedophile.

Pedophilia is a deviant psychological condition which can only be applied to those who are attracted to pre-pubescent children.

Yes, I’m afraid that the military under current leadership is indeed looking for queers.

But the guy in charge of the Catholic priests in the military, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, isn’t going to take this guy on. So if he enlists, it will have to be as a defrocked priest.

No, most of the pedophilia in the priesthood took place in the 1970s and 1980s, as a product of the so-called “sexual revolution” in the general culture. Woodstock, and all that.

It took the Church by surprise, and the bishops didn’t really know how to handle it. They took some bad advice from professional psychiatrists, who said the errant priests could be quickly fixed and put back into parishes.

The percentage of sexual misbehavior in the Church was lower than the general population even back then, since sexual misbehavior was widespread. And it’s certainly much lower now.

Most of this pedophile priest business is the work of loonie leftists in the media, and I’m afraid a few Catholic haters here in FR.

Prayers for the boy. Prayers for the Priest.

Two more sinners give black eyes to Christ and His Church.

Will Jesus forgive? I only know I’m asked to in the Our Father. Just keep the adult from harming another kid.

Could the priest have just thought he was at a WalMart sale?

Here’s the solution:

FLORIDA: Church Bans Children to Keep Pedophile Pastor

A church in Jacksonville, Florida is coming under fire for its controversial decision to ban children from its church services.

According to a local Jacksonville news affiliate, Christ Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church has banned children from attending Sunday services because their new pastor, Darrell Gilyard, is a registered sex offender and cannot have contact with children.

In 2009 Gilyard plead guilty to lewd conduct and lewd molestation of two underage girls. While he was the pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church Gilyard molested a 15-year-old girl and sent a lewd text message to another. Under the conditions of his plea agreement, Gilyard cannot have “unsupervised contact with children under 18 years old,” and his new church has taken extraordinary steps to help Gilyard stick to the terms of his deal.

Despite the seriousness of his offense, Gilyard’s return to the pulpit was swift. After being released from jail on December 28, he resumed preaching in January, and told reporters he hopes he can move past this incident and continue with his work.

Do a little research It’s a studied and published fact. The rate for Protestant Ministers and pedophile acts is close to 8% where it is under 3% in the Catholic Church.

Here is one source with numerous hot links:

Under the law this boy is a child. Stop parsing words to excuse deviancy, Mr. Clinton.

Is that like a homo shrine, or something?

What does God have to say about any kind of sexual deviants? I do not give a hoot what the media says, they are on a self promotion mission of normalizing perversion. All this religious need under the Catholic name to differentiate the age of the body being molested does not come from God.
