Yes gg. It is probably safe to argue that many, if not most, of those that define PC "agendae" are themselves homos and pedophiles since much of the PC agenda is intended to make the world safe for...you guessed it...homos and pedophiles.
Very well said. Big bump.
Just wanted to respond to a post you sent a while back. If you do a search on your browser using the words "Jim Truxton, molestation" you will find him all over the place. He is now in his late 80's and has molested at last count over 60 children in his lifetime...I'm one of them. I am now 46. My parents were with MAF, a missionary organization that Jim founded, and he molested me and all of my friends at the time. MAF did know about it, did report it, and nothing was done. That is documented. You will find information on that with no difficulty. About 10 years ago he got caught again. This time the church had to do something. They were written up in the newspapers as "war heros" but I have a very different perspective and know a lot about the situation that never hit the papers. It absolutely infuriates me. Jim was finally arrested and put in jail, and last I heard was being released only a few months later because a new law had passed in which people could not be arrested for things that had happened so many years ago. As the newpaper said (Orange County Register) "the courts did not feel it was fair to have someone feel like they could forget about something that they had did many years ago, and then suddenly get thrown in jail decades later". The sad fact is that the person who finally took him to court (I took him once also, but got nowhere) was someone who had been molested many years ago but took Jim to court because she had heard that he had recently molested someone else. So although he is still doing it, the case that was taken to court was an old one and last I heard he was going to be released. There was never an article on whether he was actually released or not. Unfortunately the Catholic Church does not have a monopoly on this horrible problem, and people have also learned that if this happens, there chances of being able to have anything done about it is slim to none. It's a hard one to beat! You are a nobody claiming that this sweet wonderful man who does nothing but good for people and usually has a wonderful loving wife (Jim's wife was involved in this whole mess) has done something terrible to you. It doesn't go over well, and you don't usually have a fan club defending you like he does. It's just a fact of life - one I think God hates, and someday some people are going to have to answer for! But I guess all I can say is that the day I die I'm going to be really glad that I'm me and not one of them. I wouldn't want to have to stand in front of the Almighty and try and explain my behavior if I were one of them! I just wish I knew who to go to to get men like Jim Truxton off the streets!

Living here in Claremont, California, suburb of Los Angeles and in same county, we are getting so many stories of local men who were raped by priests, when they were about 8 years old. One was allowed to talk about being raped, in as much detail as you can give, on the local nightly news. It was horrifying and this was just one of the many thousands of rapes. And Cardinal Mahoney and Pope Benedict were both active in not reporting these rapes to police, and just sending the priests to another church, often where no one spoke English. This made it even more difficult for the victims to report the rapes to authorities.
Until they allow married heterosexual men and women to be priests, this problem will continue to occur. But now at least they do get reported!
