Retired Pope Benedict XVI has published a letter which blames clerical sex abuse on the "all-out sexual freedom" of the 1960s.
He said that cultural and historical change had led to a "dissolution" of morality in Catholicism.
The sexual revolution in the 1960s had led to homosexuality and paedophilia in Catholic establishments, he claimed.

Funny it's never the fault of the pervy priests   Arrgghh

The Church used to believe that demons tempted individuals to homosexual acts but were then repulsed when they committed those acts.  Maybe blaming the Devil has become unfashionable?
