WHEN TELLING ONLY PART OF THE TRUTH IS THE PROBLEM AND THE AGENDA

Pedophilia, as I was taught by experts, when I was vocation director, is not related to homosexuality. In fact most men interested in prepubescent boys are heterosexual in their adult attractions. In fact the smallness of the child, vulnerability, passiveness remind him of his vision of the ideal woman. So it is correct to state that pedophilia is not related to homosexuality.

However, the crisis in the Catholic Church isn't related to rampant pedophilia is it! It is related to men who take advantage of teenage boys who have undergone puberty and thus have adult body characteristics and usually not feminine in any way.

Yes it is arrested development of the perpetrator. Yes it is an abuse of authority over the one violated and yes it can be considered rape or at least statutory rape.

The reason that homosexual ephebophilia is greater in the Catholic priesthood is that parents trusted their boys with priests presuming they were heterosexual and mature heterosexuals at that. However, most parents would not have entrusted their teenage girls to a mature heterosexual priest as this would have been considered placing a temptation before the priest if he were to be alone with her as he could be alone with teenage boys.

So there was a cultural barrier and still is a cultural barrier from hetersexual mature priests being left alone with teenage girls for camp overs, nights at the rectory and horseplay in a ministry setting where games were included. That cultural, common sense barrier was not present with teenage boys.

Heterosexual men with arrested development are attracted to teenage girls as well, although the cultural disgust with this isn't as great as it is with men, be they priests or laymen attracted to teenage boys.

Thus these survivors of clergy sexual abuse were small children evidently and this has skewed their understanding of this problem and will prevent the Church from getting to the truth. We have already heard Cardinal Cupich babble the same thing and it is all to be politically correct and avoid criticism of people like the ones in this article:

Blaming homosexuality for abuse of minors is distraction, victims say

By Carol Glatz • Catholic News Service • Posted February 19, 2019 

ROME (CNS) — People must stop using homosexuals as scapegoats for the sexual abuse of children, two male survivors of abuse by priests told reporters.

“To make this link between homosexuality and pedophilia is absolutely immoral, it is unconscionable and has to stop,” said Peter Isely, a survivor and founding member of the survivor’s group SNAP.

Speaking to reporters outside the Vatican press office Feb. 18, he said: “No matter what your sexual orientation is, if you’ve committed a criminal act against a child, you’re a criminal. That’s the designation that counts. Period.”

Isely and other survivors were in Rome to speak with the press ahead of a Vatican summitFeb. 21-24 on child protection in the Catholic Church.

Phil Saviano, who founded SNAP’s New England chapter and is a board member of BishopsAccountability.org, told reporters Feb. 19 that he felt “there has been a lot of scapegoating of homosexual men as being child predators.”

To lay the blame for the abuse of children on homosexuality “tells me that they really don’t understand” the problem and have made a claim “that is not based on any source of reality.”

“I will admit that if a priest is abusing a 16-, 17- or 18-year-old boy, that part of the element that is going on there is homosexuality, but that is not the root of the problem” of abuse by clergy, he said at an event at the Foreign Press Association in Rome.

Saviano was a prepubescent boy when he was abused by Father David A. Holley of Worcester, Massachusetts, and he said, very often, a perpetrator is no longer “interested” in his victim when the child goes through puberty.

Saviano, whose story of abuse triggered the Boston Globe investigation and was featured in the film Spotlight, said he hears from victims from all over the world “and many of them are women who were abused as children.”

“Trying to lump it all together under homosexuality,” he said, is “a dodge” and will not “lead to a proper solution.”

“It is also an insult to all the women who have been sexually abused as children,” he added.

The report of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice on clergy abuse in the Catholic Church in the United States found there was no “causative relationship” between either celibacy or homosexuality and the sexual assault of children by church members.

The report concluded clerical sexual abuse of children was more a crime of opportunity with abusers violating whomever they had more unsupervised access to — regardless of age and gender — and that abusive priests almost always had more access to boys.
