[Psalm 73]

When I mentioned to my "Liberal Long-Island Teacher's Union" relatives that it was more a Homosexual problem than a Religious problem, they almost went berserk!
(Thier reasoning was it was boys because the priests had more contact with boys than with girls, therefore NOT a gay thing)>
Well, then how come the Boy Scouts don't have that same problem?

The best service people can perform in this crisis is to not allow the media to misuse the term pedophile. I have made that mistake myself, but the real truth is that pedophiles are very rare (thankfully!), they abuse pre-pubescent children, and are profoundly mentally ill.

The RC church has a problem with homosexuals, not pedophiles.

Good point!

Tom Brokaw reporting on NBC Nightly News yesterday, said that "most catholics want the church liberalized to allow priests to marry". Like that will solve all the pedophilia problems. It's the encroachment of liberal thinking on its members that has brought the church in america to this level.

To some extent they are right

If it was hetrosexual priests having close contact with and power over teenage girls you would see similar scandals but probably not as serious

That is why the BOY SCOUTS don't want homosexuals in their organization and it should be also why GIRLS SCOUTS should not have lesbians>

I am sure nobody would reccommend men be allowed to be in intimate contact or leadership positions in the GIRL SCOUTS

Spirit is willing and flesh is weak etc etcf
