Sexual activity is not the same thing as sexual orientation. Many heterosexual people occasionally engage in sexual activity with people of the same sex.

Most child sexual abuse is perpetrated by men on girls.... heterosexuality is never claimed to be the cause. Why is that?

Many of today's priests were recruited in their teens, before they were given an opportunity to identify and come to terms with their sexuality. Some experts have said that the "sexual age" of these pederast priests is about 13, and that most of them never developed a sexual identity at all, heterosexual OR homosexual.

It's all about choice. Sadly, the RC church has made some bad choices about hiring folks who also made bad choices. But it's hypocrisy to see others making the same bad choice "protesting" for the same sin.

Judging from the number of victims, I would put their "sexual age" at 17.

Btw..there are very few "pederast priests." Most went after post-pubescent young boys.
