Personally, I fear the catholics have created much hate & despair, and continue to re-inforce it with their obstinate obstruction, misplaced idealism and religious fervor.

Pynchme you write

'Child sexual abusers are by far and away most often of heterosexual orientation '

That may well be true however you ignore that the topic is about perverted Catholic Priests who predominantly fiddle with and sodomize young boys. This is homosexual not heterosexual behaviour by anyone's definition. One perversion leads to another and unfortunately many kids are the ones to have their lives ruined.

There is no room in decent and civilized communities for pederasts and those who have shielded them from prosecution. Castration is the least that they should be inflicted on them.

socratease

Child sexual assault.
In the Catholic CHURCH.
Yes it happens in other Church's
Other walks of life.
But here it is those who serve A God, who inflict so much on children.
You will find, in threads touching on the subject those who first note it is not all.
But it is far too many,when defense becomes first reaction answers to problems get lost in the battle to protect.
Not the child victims but those who victimize them.
No longer a believer I ask those who are to look at the teachings of their God.
These acts are indefensible.

>>> the topic is about perverted Catholic Priests who predominantly fiddle with and sodomize young boys <<<

Yes, Runner, because alter-boys tend to be, er, boys.

For the kazillionith time Runner (and Proxy) paedophiles target children of either sex, they are mostly heterosexual in their sexual orientation - coincidentally just like the rest of the human population. Catholic Priests in their positions of authority, trust and protection of the Catholic hierarchy will abuse little girls if given the opportunity. However, ironically, because greater worth is placed in males it is mostly young boys who are targeted as they are more 'available' being encouraged to work with priests.

Proxy, that you used a post of mine to illustrate that paedophiles are indeed attracted to professions where they have greater access to children, is entirely moot as this topic is about the top-down cover-up by the Catholic hierarchy preventing justice and law to be enacted as it would be in ALL other institutions EXCEPT for religious ones.

As Oliver has stated the church believes it is above the law: antinomianism.

NO MORE EXCUSES

The discourse on orientaion is interesting and perhaps certain groups/institutions attract homosexuals: e.g., the Catholic Church. That said, if there are honosexuals in the Church these priests, brothers and nuns should find relief from tension with adults, not children, which brings us the intended topic:

The "cover-up" of child abuse by the Church and the associated criminality of Bishops whom will break secular laws to prevent be caught. The Church knows a cime has been committed takes no secular action, transfers the priest and in the mean scores of other sex crimes are committed, which otherwise, would not have happened. Thus, further emphasising the secular guilt of the Church hierachary.

Some posters suggest that these criminals are all dead and that all was in the past. What worries me is that in the 1960s they would have daid the same of the 1940s, and in 1990s of the 1960s and now of the 1980s. When the current cohort are pusing-up daisies, we don't want the Church in 2030 saying, "well that is well and good, but it was back in in 2010. We have all changes now".

The Church must be ordered to hand over all Benedict-like letters, under police search by summons, if necessary. Offenders and their minders must face trials. Tough, if the Church looses, a high percentage of clergy.

If memory serves there has been a commission/investigation into the matters a few decades ago. We al know that embarrassing finds can be avoided by over tight terms. If a Royal Commission is to work investigators must have wide powers such as entering seizing church weapons and jailing even cardinals for pergory.
