Yet another Catholic abuse scandal...

[Esquilax]

Hi Esquilax,

While I share your horror at any cases of abuse (in any environment) its important to note that this is NOT "yet another" scandal, rather the article is about a discussion investigating the problems which caused prior scandal.

Mere quibbling: the fact is, it happened at all.

The media are somewhat hypocritical, in that they only want to criticise the institution of the Church for its own failures, they are no interested in criticising homosexuality - the disordered attraction which caused the bulk of the cases.

That's probably because connecting the two things is factually incorrect.

The media like to talk about "child rape" etc, but - as I have demonstrated on this forum before - the greater majority of victims in Catholic cases were in fact sexually mature males, as old as 17.

Oh, well that's perfectly fine, then.

This is largely hidden from an unquestioning public, because it flies in the face of the current social moves to portray homosexuality as normal / harmless.

Or, because homosexuality isn't connected to pedophilia at all; something the scientific consensus and research bears out. Merely asserting that it does doesn't constitute evidence and you should ask yourself: why doesn't the scientific and psychological community agree with you?
