Although greeted with a wave of protest, suggestions by Vatican spokesman Dr. Joaquin Navarro-Valls of a link between homosexuality and sexual abuse by priests cannot be lightly dismissed, and in fact, demand further exploration.

Part of the sensitivity in this discussion is the fear that such comments imply a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia. But in the overwhelming number of cases made public so far, the victims have been teenage boys (not girls), meaning that this does not fit the clinical definition of pedophilia, which is the obsessive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

In order to truly get at the root of the problem, the imperative question is why has the homosexuality of priests resulted in the molestation of adolescent boys?

According to most estimates, 25-50% of priests are homosexuals, compared to the 3-5% of men in the general public who are gay. Not only does the priesthood have a disproportionately strong appeal to homosexuals, but most of the priests involved in the scandals came of age during the sexual revolution of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Adding further fuel to the fire is the immaturity of many of these priests, who often joined the seminaries fresh out of grade school, denying them the normal social experiences of adolescence. The combination of homosexuality, lax sexual attitudes, and immaturity has proven a recipe for disaster.

More than 1200 priests in sex scandal

By Laurie Goodstein in New York
January 13 2003

The sexual abuse crisis that has engulfed the Roman Catholic Church in the United States over past 12 months has spread to nearly every diocese in the country and involves more than 1200 priests.

Those are among the conclusions drawn from an extensive New York Times survey of documented cases of sexual abuse of minors by priests over the past 60 years.

The survey compiled the names and histories of 1205 accused priests. It counted 4268 people who have claimed publicly or in lawsuits to have been abused by priests, though experts say there are certainly many more who have remained silent.

Heard it in a song that's popular now. I don't speak Spanish much at all, so I look up the lyrics online, and find some that are slang, I guess.

Others: dulzura [something sweet? or a soft voice?], llevandote, diciendote and sintiendote ...

All from a song called "Caile", which goes, "Pues caile!, caile!,
Que yo quiero una noche mas, ..." I am hearing it on the radio in Boston at the mo.

what if mary did fornicate, producing jesus? wouldn't it make sense, to protect herself from the harsh jewish laws of the time, which would have required her death, to lie to her husband and convince him not to let her be punished? she would have been aware of the prophecies concerning the messiah, so she would have known exactly what story to tell. and if a young jesus grew up with his parents telling him that god had impregnated his mother and that he was the son of god, wouldn't he believe it, too?

then, he could have studied the prophecies himself, setting out to fulfill what he believed was his duty as god's son and the savior of his people.

please respond with your thoughts.

and i mean real, intelligent thoughts, not angry proclamations of blasphemy, heresy, or damnation.

Just noticing that some folks on here are very mislead.

1. Evolution is not a proven fact it is a theory.


I do have a question though, why do some of yall(athiest) like to jump on christians for spreading thier word, when in fact by jumping on them you in fact are doing the same thing.

Basiclly what I am saying if you don't like religion, don't open the religion questions.

It's hard to read in a moving vehicle, and you can only listen to CDs for so long. Playing 'I spy' can only go on for so long. So, in between the motels, gas stations and Stuckeys', how do you keep yourself entertained?

I was thinking about all those lost souls who work down at the Crazy Horse strip club. These lovely women who dance naked in front of drunken men who throw dollars bills at them. This place is a den of iniquity that belongs to Satan. We need to save these poor souls from the fires of hell.

I need your help. Would you please send me dollar bills so that I can go down there, pay for their time and attention, and talk to them about Jesus. God will smile upon you for your donations.
