Good to point out that this article was not written in response to the current crisis (a/k/a 2009-10), but as a result of the US crisis (a/k/a 2000-2002).

Child sex predators gravitate to organizations and professions where they have access to other people's children, primarily teaching and religion.
This is not rocket science. Parents more than room-temperature IQ and/or common sense keep their children away from public schools and organized religions.

Many homosexuals tend to focus on self and youth.
Pedophelia can be a natural extension of a narciccism that focuses on physical beauty and maintaining youth - a trait homosexual pedophiles share with many heterosexual pedophiles.
There are other causes outside this paradgm however, such as sadists who will go after a child to hurt them regardless of gender, or stoners who get aroused and look for any place to get relief when they are high.
The biggest problem within the Church is not that there were people in it that sought sexual gratification from children. That the church did not immediately focus on healing those children and making them whole - and still does not - is the problem. A very, very, big problem.
Churches overall now do a credible job of trying to weed out and stop pedophiles. Churches overall now do a crappy job of healing hurt children and still often tend to make the children feel outcast and blamed.

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.
THE ABOVE ARTICLE IS A SMOKESCREEN!
THE SEXUAL ORIENTAION OF THE PRIEST DOES NOT MATTER!
CHILDREN OF BOTH SEXES WERE MOLESTED BY ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS AND ROME DID NOTHING EXCEPT MOVE THE CHILD MOLESTING PRIESTS TO ANOTHER DIOCESE!!

” All credible evidence discounts any link between the molestation of children and homosexuality.
Now that’s a grim bit of humor. Rather like saying a drunk can be entrusted with a wine cellar since he favored beer over wine.

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
