To link homosexuality and pedophilia is a “great injustice” and a “criminalisation” of gay sexual and affective identity, a key Vatican official has insisted.
Driving the news
Jordi Bertomeu Farnós, a priest in the all-powerful Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) and one of the Pope’s right-hand men in the fight against clerical sex abuse, took down the myth gay clerics are more likely to offend against minors in a essay for the Spanish magazine Palabra.
Bertomeu – one of the special investigators sent by the Pope to look into the sex abuse crisis in Chile in 2018 – based his conclusion on the 6,000 cases of priestly abuse against children that have made their way since 2001 to the CDF, the Vatican area in which serious canonical crimes committed by clerics are judged and sanctioned.

Criticising the “biased positions strongly influenced by a certain ultraconservative ideological posture” that would affirm otherwise, the CDF official underlined that “there is no direct relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia”.
Neither, Bertomeu continued, is there any relationship between pedophilia “and a ‘progressive style’ of clergy”.
“From a privileged observatory such as that of this Dicastery, it can be affirmed that the phenomenon of homosexuality does not know of clerical styles, since it affects [sic] priests of both a ‘traditional’ cut and others of a more open or ‘progressive’ cut (despite the misguided nature of these qualifiers)”, Bertomeu wrote.
The most that can be argued from CDF statistics is “that a certain homosexual subculture typical of some clerical groups and present in certain seminars or novitiates, with the consequent tolerance towards active homosexual behaviors, can lead to pedophilia”, the Vatican official continued.

1. Evidence says otherwise.
2. If you allow one unrepentant sin, you allow them all... and there is no sin... nor standards.

In finance, we'd call this "talking their book."
What!?!?
Being gay should not be stigmatized, because of pederast priests who are also gay. Is that the message?
Crazy times
I wouldn’t criminalize homosexuality any more than I would criminalize having cancer, but there’s no way in hell I’m going to pretend that either are normal.
Congratulations Gramsci! Your long march through the institutions is over and it’s been a smashing success.
Bertomeu declares God in error.
“He was wrong. I know what He said in the Bible but we know better now.”
“For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,
And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)
They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

The Left's Push For Pedophile Acceptance

Since pedophilia is the sexual attraction to prepubescent children offenders are not normally regarded as being either homosexual or heterosexual.
However, when it comes to sexual attraction to pre-teens and teens there is very much a disproportionate number of homosexual offenders. So yes there is a link between homosexuality and criminal sexual behavior. There is a reason why gays usually are the ones trying to have the legal age of consent lowered.
A huge percentage of poofters were molested as children by adult males. It can really screw up a young boys wiring.Things are so twisted if said boy gets counseling it’s likely the psychologist will tell the boy that he probably is gay so embrace it rather then trying to undue the damage done by the queer predator.

Just out of curiosity - does anyone out there have any info on the percentage of the “Man-Boy Love Society” folks that are gay?
Just wonderin’.
A priest said this? Out loud?
?
?
There is a darkness to homosexuality that tells you it is wrong, but some persist and believe there is a radiance to the darkness. Black is white and day is night.
“A priest said this? Out loud?”
... in a sane world, he would have had to pick himself up off the floor after being belted in the mouth.
