I never even knew what NAMBLA was until I started Freeping. If this report is true then it is a truly depressing situation. Suggestions that this goes back to the 1960's is even more incredible. Man, this is really disgusting. The best we can hope for is that the Church now cleans house and gets back to basics. There must be some sort of a silver lining to this cloud somewhere.

"... church officials acknowledged yesterday their discovery of new records detailing allegations of the Rev. Paul R. Shanley's involvement in NAMBLA - the North American Man-Boy Love Association."

This is primarily a homosexual sexual abuse problem, so it's no surprise that NAMBLA is linked in some way. I wonder how many of the homosexual priests are also NAMBLA members.

The only reason the media is acknowledging the existence of NAMBLA now is because the "scandal" involves the Catholic church. Doesn't anyone remember Mayor Koch marching with the group in New York City parades a few years ago???? Of course, we will next be told, "No one should be judged by their 'sexual orientation'." All "rights" that are now being demanded for "gays", will eventually be claimed for pedophiles.....if not, why not? You can make the same arguments.
