I don’t know how millions of ordinary people of all persuasions, from atheists, to Catholics, to gay, to Muslim, to Lutheran, to Buddhists and Satanists, to whatever, who work at schools, became the holy grail for comparing to the Catholic priesthood.
I think what really fascinates people about the Catholic leadership, is not that they occasionally have a church leader who messes up and dates a teen girl, or has an affair with a woman, or the church organist, but the rampant homosexuality.
The general public is trying to figure out why so much of the Catholic denomination’s leadership, is practicing, or fighting to deal with, or personally overcome, male on male sexuality.
See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/804825/posts for part of the story...
What is not mentioned is virtually ALL these guys are homosexual. where is the outcry that massive number of homosexuals are abusing BOYS.
we dont seem to have a problem with nuns.
the headline should be boys being raped by homosexuals who happen to be priest.
they infested the priesthood. easy access to young boys.
the church is guilty of looking the other way.
How about responding to the article in question. Is it possible that you could ever agree with anything that puts the Catholic Church in a favorable light. I seriously doubt it. Just ignore the facts and move on.
