"Excuse me. The priest pedophile/homosexual scandals have much more to do with the militant gay rights movement of the 20th & 21st centuries than they do with "outdated ideas."


So this is only a recent phenomenon, and not something that's been occurring for a long time? I don't believe that for a second.

It was early in the 20th century when Bernard Shaw noted that it was no longer an act of courage to call one's self a homosexual.

This stuff suddenly got a lot worse in the 1960s, but it didn't spring newborn from Satan's brow during that decade.

I recommend Barzun's "Dawn to Decadence."
