“During Mass at the Vatican’s Sanctae Marthae guesthouse, the Pope raised the issue by likening the latest child abuse scandal to a biblical story where Jesus is driven out of town by a pack of wild dogs.While advising clergy members on how to handle the current wave of accusations, Francis said victims who make allegations against abusive priests “seek only division and destruction” and, like the dogs from the story, are “shouting without reason.”

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t the term “dogs” in reference to the statements of Christ in the NT, and it does appear does than once, refer to sodomites?
Sorry about that.
I am referring to Psalm 22:16
Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce[a] my hands and my feet.
17 All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.
19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
20 Deliver me from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
