This seems to be a continued denial of the horrific sexual abuse of young men/children by Roman Catholic priests...

... and enabled by the leadership of the organization.

It is being reported all over the US and World.

Just yesterday, Germany was revealed to have had over 3700 cases of Catholic sexual abuse.

German Catholic priests abused thousands of children

Better to own up or you won't get it fixed.

He actually makes excellent points, but then ruins it at the end when he defends Cardinal Wuerl, for whom there is no defense. However, that doesn't lessen the value of him putting the PA report into the proper perspective as opposed to believing whatever the MSM says about it.

No it is not a denial. I think what he said is accurate. The word “Rape” was used to suggest every incident was a forcible sex case. Not true. Sexual abuse explains 100% of the Acts but not all 100% are rape. I think if the PA AG is going to be fair from a Constitutional perspective then you can’t make a set of laws for one group and a different one for another. If this was just to get the Catholic Church, then that is a problem.

I have always said that this was more about homosexual ephobile scandal, which historically has been seen an distinct from true pedastry. Liberal Dems want to use pedophile because that is still a term that resonates with the majority of U.S. Ephobile links it more with homosexuality since the victims are young males nearing, at or past puberty (12-17).

In other words, cases like the former Cardinal McCarrick.
