The diversion into gay promiscuity became necessary when the fact of such promiscuity was denied by a number of posters. That tune seems to be changing now. How is this relevant to the priest scandal. Those stats are about gay sex between consenting adults, JC. Your waters are muddied. As to the connection to the Church, no one is seriously disputing that the priesthood has become a heavily gay male culture. I have no idea what the stats are about the incidence of homosexuality within the priesthood is, and neither do you. No one is seriously disputing that contemporaneously the Church has a widespread boy-molestation problem on its hands. This is true. There is also an epidemic of girl molestation by priests. To speculate that the two are connected is eminently reasonable. No, your logic fails here. Simply put, correlation does not equal causation. Everything we might discuss about the priest scandal is speculative at the present time. Untrue. The facts are coming out every day. And I will continue to post them.
