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

I stand with you, NL.
I agree.
It’s because they are very good at substituting “Roman Catholic apologists” or something similar, in order to make the comment one step removed from the individual to keep from “making it personal,” as per forum rules.
And, I’m sure one of them will be here soon to point that fact out to us.

Dr. Brian Kopp says everything that needs to be said.
Yes, and there are a number of us Catholics who can do the same thing.
And “Roman Catholic Apologists” is the mildest phrase the usual suspects use.
If you consider yourself to be simply a defender of children, then why don't focus on PEDOPHILES, instead of throwing mud at million innocent priests and Christians who have nothing to do with rape of children?
Are all white men nazi's? Absolutely not! Those who insist on castigating all white men because of Hitler, or any other serial killer, have a personal problem/agenda. Wouldn't you agree? Spreading hatred and anymosity is un-American, and almost as ugly as lusting children.
Rather than the rest of us having to give up organized religion, public schools, summer camps etc - wouldn't it make more sense to go after the predators and remove them?
And I do. See post 24 on this thread.
No, your advice is only practical for a PAGAN "mountain man" living away from civilization.
Better to learn how to discern who is effeminate and who isn't. Any man can learn this. Women are not very good at discerning effeminacy in men, so it's up to the fathers (single moms can get their dad or brothers to help). Here's some more simple advice, teach your children to tell you if anyone tries to touch them, and men keep your eyes open, you are the shepherd who gives his life (at least his time!) for his sheep. There are many other simple methods.
The problem is that parents are too busy doing nothing (watching TV, shopping, playng video games, talking dung on their cell phones), and are not spending their time seeing, talking or watching their children. Heck, even if they take their children to the soccer field, the parents spend all the time talking on their cell phones and thus are not really with their children. Trash the cell phone, also trash that TV in your car and TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN!!!.
They are not even with their children when they are with their children!
Trash the cell phone, also trash that TV in your car and TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN!!!.
if a priest touches a boy then he is a homosexuals thus this is not just a Catholic problem but a homosexual problem but the media as usual do not report the facts , instead they will try and push this perverted lifestyle
if a man or a priest touches a boy is a homosexuals and therefore this is also a homosexuals problem.
Mostly it was boys who were touched and molested and it’s high time for some of these people to stop pushing this perverted sickness
their sexual orientation does not matter
course it does matter, many were boys, they were touched by men and therefore they are homosexuals
The religion moderator is a thankless task and for the most part it is done well with no hint of favoritism. I suspect that you will see every side of every argument crying about partiality. I only commented because I thought I could bring a slightly different perspective to the discussion, one that may not have been considered. Either way, I will continue to participate.
Also, when one religion spawns from another both often condemn each other in harsh terms: anathema, heretic, apostate, cult, sect, Satanic, blaspheme. Frequently those terms are part of a belief's holy writ or official documents or articles. And the beliefs - including the "anti" beliefs - are deeply held.
The only place on the Religion Forum where Freepers may express their "anti" beliefs are "open" RF threads. I will not gag Freepers on "open" threads because some other posters "take it personally."
In other words, "open" Religion Forum threads are in a town square format. Posters argue for and against beliefs. They may ridicule or condemn religions, beliefs, religious authorities, deities, etc. It can become very contentious.
Thin-skinned posters on “open” RF threads are the disruptors. They often take statements against their deeply held beliefs very personally. And whereas I can and do intervene to prevent posters from “making it personal” there is nothing I can do to keep a poster from “taking it personally.” And some posters are drawn like a moth to the flame.
If you "take it personally" then you should complete IGNORE "open" RF threads and instead read and post to RF "caucus" "ecumenical" "devotional" or "prayer" threads.
Thank you.
So let me get this straight. If I were to post that all Protestants were a--holes, it could only be deleted because of the potty reference?
No, thank you. I can only imagine the cesspool this forum would descend into, in the name of sweet baby Jesus, without your steady hand and adult supervision.
Yes.
LMAO -poor baby...
The facts are the facts -get angry all you want -who cares...
