"There were THOUSANDS of homosexual-pedophile priests in the US and around the world. Thousands of them."

This is not true. Of the priests guilty of what is called, generally, "sexual abuse," the vast majority were homosexuals hitting on post-pubescent male youths. This is a damnable sin as well as a crime under law --- deeply harmful, disgusting and depraved--- but it is not pedophilia: it is homosexuals who like adolescents and young men.

I invite you to check the research before you make such sweeping statements.Philip Jenkins is a good place to start.

I won’t dispute the terminology. Yes the overwhelming number of cases were homosexual priests hitting on male teenagers.
