Catholic Church Defends Roman Polanski
September 29, 2009
The Catholic Church wants us to move past its child molestation scandal, because, quite frankly, priests were not molesting children. Instead, ala Roman Polanski, they were simply having relations with adolescents (via):
The statement said that rather than paedophilia, it would "be more correct" to speak of ephebophilia, a homosexual attraction to adolescent males.
"Of all priests involved in the abuses, 80 to 90% belong to this sexual orientation minority which is sexually engaged with adolescent boys between the ages of 11 and 17."
It's time to indict the Catholic Church under RICO. Seriously. For decades, they obstructed official investigations, and committed mail and wire fraud. Perhaps there once was good reason to forgive the Church. This latest statement has removed all doubt about the Catholic Church. The Church has refused to accept responsibility.
Moreover, any organization that believes having sex with an 11-year-old boy is garden-variety homosexuality, does not deserve to exist.
