Used to have my child in Catholic school. I found it unreal that I needed to submit to a criminal background check to even be allowed to volunteer in the school, while they ordain the true culprits.
Do they realize it's the poofters?
Bingo!
Now let's see the logical argument for this.
"Bear in mind that the abuse is almost exclusively statutory rape of gay teenagers by gay priests."
Or at least the teenagers are gay by the time the priest gets done with them!
Yes if those darn school teachers didn't have vows of celibacy there wouldn't be so much teacher/child molestation....
... who had pedophilia (i.e. chicken-hawking) tendencies?
"The Church wants to "look at what is unique" in the priest sex abuse crisis, he said. "
Queers as priests.
Duh.
I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
What do you make of those 'which have made themselves'?
Matthew 19:12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
I had a nice lengthy response in the works, but you summed it up in 11 words.
The Church wants to "look at what is unique" in the priest sex abuse crisis, he said.
We know what is unique. 90% of the victims were teenage boys.
Nope, they sure don't, otherwise they wouldn't keep admitting them to the seminaries.
My family has been Catholic for at least 1000 years, and I must say this tragedy in the Church is a nightmare to me.
How do I know, for example, that the man I'm confessing to isn't buggering boys, now or in the past?
I hate the thought of it.
Perhaps this study will answer some questions? I hope so.
My God, what a mess.

Evidentally Paul himself was one of the last.
Well, if celibacy wasn't a requirement for priesthood, it wouldn't be such a magnet for homosexuals and pedophiles.
Guilty, repressed, catholics with psychological, sexual damage who don't want to act out their psychosis (homosexuality). They become priests and don't find a traditional psychiatrist who can help them with this PSYCHOLOGICAL problem, they remain homosexual.

Follow up to my last post, re: pedophelia.
It's becoming more apparent that this behavior is "hard-wired", meaning a problem with one of the brain functions, much like serial killers who have frontal lobe damage/ill-working frontal lobes which leaves them with no conscience, remorse, etc.
You CAN have these things hard wired in your brain and not act on them also, although it is very difficult, and if you have a bad upbringing, experiences, etc, these flaws will rise to the surface.
It's a case of nature/nurture, science/nurture if you will.
Homosexualty falls into the category of early childhood, psychological issues, perhaps a predisposition, but the "gay gene" has not been found, although I can literally say I've seen no less than a dozen newscast, articles saying the "gay gene" has been found.
Homosexuality is a psychological/abnormal issue, some people are depressed/bipolar/obsessive compulsive/self destructive, etc.,etc.
Some people are homosexual, that's why they try and introduce teaching, normalizing this abnormal behavior at an early, confused, psychological state and it should NOT be taught in schools as "normal".
You can take a kid and make him a criminal, you can take a kid and make him a homosexual.
A large percentage of homosexual men were abused as children.
I'm sure I'll get some grief for this, but a friend of mine was one of the top shrinks in the USA (RIP), he treated homosexuals, necropheliacs, etc.
Wow, did he have some stories!
Actually, no. I don't think the Catholics intentionally hired homosexuals who were more disposed to molesting teen-age boys than an average homosexual. It's a numbers game. The evidence I have seen suggests that homosexuals are more prone to this kind of behavior than heterosexuals. So if you hire enough of them, it happens--especially if the church lets the offenders avoid consequences for many years.
Some sexual abuse of teens in the church will happen no matter how careful the church is. But the numbers could be greatly reduced by not hiring homosexual priests and by allowing severe punishment (both ecclesiastical and secular) of those who offend what should be a clear line.

Hmmm. That's a new one to me.
