Many homosexual leaders have admitted that
there is a natural link between
a homosexual orientation and child sexual abuse.
By Brian W. Clowes and David L. Sonnier
The Church has always had a small number of priests and other religious who have taken advantage of their positions of authority and influence in order to gain sexual favors or to take advantage of the helpless. The problem of clerical child sexual molestation, particularly in the United States, has been widely exposed and publicized over the last several years. The numerous recent revelations have exposed the problem as much deeper and more widespread than most would have previously believed.
During the current crisis, homosexual activists within and outside the Catholic Church have done everything they could to divert attention away from even the possibility that there may be a higher percentage of homosexuals among the priesthood than in the general public, and that this may be the root of the problem of child sexual molestation within the Church. It is particularly the link between homosexuality and child molestation that they seek to deny.
For example, Dignity USA kicked off its “Stop Blaming Gay Priests” campaign during the meeting of the United States Catholic Bishops Conference in Washington, D.C., November 10-13, 2002. The group said, “DigntyUSA [sic] is calling on the U.S. Catholic bishops to stop blaming gay priests for the clergy sexual abuse scandal. All credible evidence discounts any link between the molestation of children and homosexuality.”1

The Church tried to cover it up to prevent public scandal, and embarassment, and frankly, half the bishops were homosexuals themselves, and were thus compromised.
This is the other half of the equation. The Church has a homosexual priest problem. Homosexuals in the priesthood did what (some) homosexuals are wont to do, they engaged in chicken hawking.
And since a large fraction of the bishops were also homosexual, and a mutual blackmail system naturally existed among the whole Lavender Mafia, the bishops engaged in consistently covering it up.
Again, its primarily a homosexual problem.
That is a specious argument and you know it. Those that purport that the scandal is either exclusively Catholic or an officially sponsored Catholic Church activity are guilty of denial and are therefore complicit in the continued abuse of children within their own denominations. Those legitimately concerned for the victims do not obsess over one group of perpetrators while turning a blind eye to others unless their real agenda is the demise of the Catholic Church and not the plight of all victims of abuse.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
This article makes it crystal clear that the boys who were molested by Murphy were young adolescents.
Child rape is evil, no doubt. Anger however, can also lead to evil, truly if anger is a problem for you get help. Anger clouds your judgment, makes you do and say things that are themselves bad.
There were a few pedophile priests and many more queers who infiltrated the priesthood. (This was done by the Comintern/KGB on purpose from the 20’s through the 60’s to both Anglican and Catholic and Orthodox seminaries.) The Church has slowly, painfully moved to purge out that deviants and has eliminated almost all of the abusers. More, the Church now has systems in place that should prevent the problem from resurfacing other than as an occasional crime.
Thank you for this important clarification.
SOP for Gamecock. He’s compensating for many inadequacies in his life.
Unless, of course, it's people like TSgt making it personal.
How about demonstrating some consistency in your "moderating".
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

This is based on the principle that two wrongs do not make a right.

How about a little "Fair and Balanced" in the moderation department, OK?
In their defense, this may just be due to the number of Catholic posters and how often they post. But I did not see very many warnings directed towards the usual suspects who post the continuous nonsense against the Church on these threads.
