As the revelations of abuse have become public it has become increasingly clear that almost all the victims are adolescent males, not prepubescent boys. The problem of priests with same-sex attractions (SSA) molesting adolescents or children must be addressed if future scandals are to be avoided.

If the media stops being politically correct and admits the problem is one of "same-sex attraction to adolescent males," progress will be made.

And "If wishes were horses, . . ."

If the bishops would stop being politically correct, it wouldn't matter so much what the media did (much as we owe them for bringing the situation to light, even if they persist in distorting perceptions of the cause).

We can pray. And we can write letters to othe media and to our local church. It has been my experience not to go over the local level. You must do that and then you can contact the dioscesan, archdioscensan level. Am I correct or mistaken here?
