Sexual Abuse in religion

You are so confused. Child abuse is not the same as consensual sex between adults. No wonder that you made a bogus claim that you cannot support.

That was not what happened in most of these cases. These priest were homosexual men for the most part.

I post truth. Deal with it as you choose. i

I have seen you post claims and some evidence to support one or two of those claims.

Really? You have evidence that they had sexual relationships with adult men? This is a first. You should contact the press with your evidence.

Homosexual pedophilia is carried out by men with same sex attraction. Most of the victims were teen boys.

See below

There are no doubt many outstanding priests of a homosexual orientation who live chaste, celibate lives, but any evaluation of the causes and context of the current crisis must be cognizant of the fact that more than 80 percent of the abuse at issue was of a homosexual nature," - Robert Bennett
I know that about 80% of the victims were male, many below age of 12. But there is a big difference between a pedophile and a homosexual. Of course, this is regarding the scandal of the Catholic church and world wide, girls and women are still the most at risk from sexual abuse by the clergy.

So you think heterosexual men want sex with teen boys?
There is no evidence linking homosexuality and pedophilia. It may be wise to stop where you are and limit the discussion to actual abuse and the fact that religious institutions among others have demonstrated themselves to be very good places for that sort of illegal behavior to perpetuate.

I see that you are still confused. Neither heterosexual men nor homosexual men want sex with boys. Child abusers are in their own category. They tend to go after the easiest victim.

The truth is that the church has virtually eliminated abuse in part by rejecting priest candidates with strong same sex attractions.

The Catholic Church is now the safest institution in the world with regard to sexual abuse.

The Catholic church uses boys as assistants much more than they use girls. There are protestant sexts where that is reversed. Guess who is the victim then?

And there is more abuse in Protestant churches than most people think. One in ten young people at Protestant churches has quit due to abuse:

The same applies to practicing homosexuals.
I am sorry but that makes no sense at all. There is nothing wrong with homosexuality. It is natural and seen in countless species.

Just because the Bible says that something is wrong does not make that wrong.

That is your opinion. Most religions and cultures have always considered homosexual acts as sinful.

Some people today believe that if they desire something, it must be morally acceptable.

This is part of the movement away from God.

So limiting priests that have homosexual attractions also reduced the number of assaults on females too? I wonder how that works? Or could it be that they are actually doing something now instead of burying it?

There are other things that are part of that movement away also.
