I don't care if homosexuals or pedophiles or 'horny heterosexuals who simply found the altar-boy handy' did .1% or 99.9% of the molestations -- I want to hear the Church talk about what they're going to do with 100% of the molesters. All the rest of it is a dodge.

So, you don't believe priests molest girls, or you're ok with that?

About "all the rest of it is a dodge" - so, we shouldn't be proactive? Our only problem is the priests we know are molesters? That is just plain one dimentional thinking. First off, all known molesters names are now in the hands of the law. They will decide the fate of those molesters, not the Catholic Church. Second, what about the possiblility of molesters coming up from the seminaries and their effect on the future of children? Shouldn't we address that problem and go to the root cause?

Now, due to the GREATLY OVERWHELMING number of young male victims, due to the number of priests dying of AIDS (much higher than the general population) what does that lead you to believe? That is evidence that, guess what? Most of the abusing, evil priests are HOMOSEXUALS.

Where are all the abused girls? Not that it doesn't happen, but where are all the abused girls???

Time for you to read "Goodbye! Good Men" - but I bet you won't.

No, you shouldn't be "proactive" while dodging the real issue. The real issue is child-molesting priests, not chaste homosexual priests or priests who physically "counsel" distraught wives.

CHILD abusers.

You heard the Cardinals: serial and notorious, i.e. more than one victim and the public has to know about it, and doing a female while drunk just ain't that big a deal, goshdarnit. No, I don't believe "all known" abusers names have been turned over because they waved a shiny object in front of certain people and it suddenly became a need to "purge all the homosexuals!"

And yes, I am concerned about the future and the priests coming out of the seminaries: where's my assurance that their victims aren't going to be paid off while they get shuffled from parish to parish? WHERE THE HELL IS THAT ASSURANCE? I'm not Catholic; I don't give a rat's ass who gets ordained and who gets defrocked -- WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO DEAL WITH THE CRIMINALS?

Paid-off and/or hiding in seminaries for being evil sluts and misleading those poor defenseless priests.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that a teenage girl who enters into what she thinks is a consensual relationship with a man is going to have a lot easier time with her future sexuality than a teenage boy who does the same.

I don't know where they are -- they exist and I want to know that they won't in the future.

Now, if you Catholics want to get rid of homosexuals AFTER ASSURING ME THAT FUTURE CHILD MOLESTATIONS WON'T BE HIDDEN AND PAID OFF, then fine. Have at 'em. Ban those dog-named-Spot owners too, for all I care.

DEAL WITH THE CRIMINALS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
