I think I have it. You ordain a bunch of homos.

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.

I think it's also true that "gayness" is a modern invention, no more than 120 years old.

I'm quite sure that SSA has always existed. I'm also quite sure that a respectable occupation with lifetime security which relieved men from the "why aren't you married" question has ALWAYS been overpopulated by those burdened with SSA.

The difference, now, is that several generations of men with SSA have been conditioned to affirm the proposition, "This is who I AM", as opposed to "This is what I am tempted to DO".

Men who affirm the former proposition cannot function honestly as RC priests, but since a lot of them are in that line of work, enormous problems have been engendered.

My understanding of the CCC is that it still affirms the "this is what I am tempted to DO" analysis of SSA, but the USCCB bishops are constantly flirting with the "this is who (I) they ARE" model.

As long as there are significant numbers of bishops and priests who (secretly) affirm an heretical view of human sexuality, this problem cannot be resolved.

The "modern" view of SSA, in an ecclesial context, is actually an organized, major heresy. Like all the other Christian heresies, the belief in this key "knowledge" looms larger and larger in the minds of its proponents until it becomes central to their being.

And, like all the other major Christian heresies, it is going to have to be extirpated from the Body of Christ before the Body can return to health.
