According to Judith Reisman, in "The Hidden Source of the Sexual Abuse Scandal or When Wolves Train the Shepherds, they had more than that to say:
Still following our sexuality stream, Kinsey’s erotic dogma is seen in the now-famous 1985 document “The Problem of Sexual Molestation” in the Church, in which Father Thomas Doyle, Ray Mouton and St. Luke’s Dr. Michael Peterson (a closet homosexual, now dead from AIDS) said the Church was unequipped to address sex predators due, and I quote, to its “extreme moral judgmentalism.” Instead, claimed Dr. Peterson, “respected scientists” find pedophilia requires empathy and treatment for assaulting children may be a genetic trait.Speaking as a Kinsey disciple as the authoritative maker of sexological opinion, Dr. Peterson warned the bishops to turn over all priest offenders to the “experts” or face “malpractice” charges.
[W]here clerics give advice . . . [this is] considered by the civil courts to be beyond their . . . expertise or competence . . . [This could allegedly cause] catastrophic consequences (divorce, suicide) resulting in civil suits.
While Peterson urged the Church to hire sex experts like him, he especially recommended Drs. Fred Berlin and John Money of the Johns Hopkins Sexual Disorders Clinic. They would “rehabilitate” Church pedophiles. The wolves were paid millions to guard the sheep. Peterson again: “[Money and Berlin] are considered by me and most people in the field as the two U.S. experts . . . mental health professionals with good success in treatment of such disorders. . . .”
St. Luke's Dr. Michael Peterson?
Saradippity's the only one I recall on FR who's actually read the report, so I'm pinging her for her comments.
Clerics preying upon young people was decried by Martin Luther in the 1500s. Sexual abuse is a problem in every helping profession, and has been for a long time.
