The words “homosexual”, “gay”, and “sodomy” are conspicuous by their absence. I cannot find any synonym for them in this piece of bureaucratic excrement.
I think were seeing two very distinct categories of responses from Bishops. The seeing and the blind - they seem to fall into one or the other.
There is an article by Andrew Sullivan linked on realclear politics that stated what most of us know, the overwhelming majority of abuse was men to men or men to underage boys indicating a problem with a homosexual subculture. Now Sullivan goes on to suggest this may be rooted in an internal hatred that some homosexuals have that they are in fact homosexual but he clearly does not dismiss the homosexual dimension of this, which most on the left do.
To his credit, he has called for Cardinal Wuerhl of DC to resign. I concur with that point.
Notice the better from Bishop Morlino of Madison, WI
