Catholic diocese refuses to sell land out of fear of gay marriage, but...

[Bob Kelso]

Considering the number of priests that have been excommunicated for affairs with adult women while the child rapists have been protected, it can only be logically viewed as a paedophile ring.
With those in charge the worst offenders.

That's actually a pretty good point, and it makes me wonder what the church would be doing if public opinion on adultery was more severe, and child abuse less severe; I get the feeling that'd be a world where the adulterers are hidden, and the pedophiles excommunicated, as the church cares about their reputation, and not the crime itself.

My thoughts exactly, I got into an argument with some of my more über-Catholic family members over this.
