Again, not to encourage it, but the poster was offering up the pornography incident as an example of corruption in the parish on the level of sexual attacks. Sorry, but it's just not the same thing. Again, I am not comfortable with a priest having a pornography equation, but I do not equate him to a pedophile.

Keep in mind the context of my original post. The point to which I was responding was the assertion that "In Arlington diocese, the worst sex scandal was a priest having coffee with a 24-year-old woman" (#378). Clearly, keeping a secret stash of homosexual porn is worse than "having coffee with a 24-year-old woman".

Further, there is the case I cited of priest having an adulterous relationship and fathering a child with one of his parishioners. My point was, these sorts of scandals are not limited to "liberal" dioceses. "Orthodox" dioceses are not immune to problems.
