It is Ephebophilia. There is no Pedophile problem in the Catholic Church. It is a Homosexual problem with a small percentage of the Priesthood. Homosexuals are attracted to post pubescent and pubescent boys. Pedophiles are attracted to Pre-Pubescent children.

Catholic Priests offend at significantly lower rates of Pedophilia and Ephebophilia than any protestant denomination. It is simply the fact that Catholic bashing is a sport for the MSM and the Lawyers know that the Catholic Church has very deep pockets.
