ped·er·as·ty
   /ˈpɛdəˌræsti, ˈpidə-/ [ped-uh-ras-tee, pee-duh-]
sexual relations between two males, esp. when one of them is a minor.

pe·do·phil·i·a
   /ˌpidəˈfɪliə/ [pee-duh-fil-ee-uh]
sexual desire in an adult for a child.

"Child" implies "pre-pubescent."

The Catholic priests' victims were 80.9% male, and were mostly post-pubescent. The offending priests are more accurately described as pederasts, not pedophiles.

It's nice that the glaringly obvious homosexual connection is finally being openly discussed, 30 years after the abuse peaked.

BINGO! We have a winner.

When the gay lobby claims, "There is no scientific link between homosexuality and pedophilia", they are absolutely correct.

There isn't.

BUT ..... (no pun intended) ..... they are just playing a word game.

The very high correlation between homosexuality and sexual behavior with post-pubescent boys has been documented throughout History and the practice was a major part of ancient Greek culture:

Pederasty in ancient Greece

So, when the gay lobby claims, in a debate about allowing gays to be adult leaders in the Boy Scouts that, "There is no scientific link between homosexuality and pedophilia", they are correct.

The equally correct response is, "While that is true, the Boy Scouts are post-pubescent boys and sex with them is scientifically classified as pederasty, not pedophilia. Now that we have satisfied the Word Police, we can categorically state that a strong correlation between homosexuality and pederasty has been extremely well documented for thousands of years."
