If even the leader of the catholic church falls asleep, why shouldn't we just skip it all together and stay in bed?

didn't realise people still went to church. wake up people! ( especially the pope! :p )

maybe he was communication with god? engaged in peaceful reflection? showing us his years old strategy in dealing with pedophilia in the church?

You think the abused children were gay? Or into older men?

Well, actually, they were into older men, literally, but that was because they were forced to.

for kids that wasn't born with it but after embracing gayness after being molested well, i couldn't begin to imagine that myself.....

Because it doesn't happen.

So many people do not realize that there is a difference, a BIG difference, between pedophilia and homosexuality.

For that matter, there is even a difference between pedophilia and pederasty, but I'll let Gerien's considerable library skills explain why.

one last shot - homosexuality and pedophilia also have nothing to do with being celibate. But again, people think that celibacy means instant pedophilia.

Pederasty is similar to pedophilia in that is is between a man and a boy or adolescent. It can be consensual, at least with adolescents. It is far less common than heterosexual pedophilia in our culture. You all may recognize the practice in ancient Sparta (yes, Sparta) and Rome.

Nope, they don't. Didn't that bishop of some kind recently announced that pedophilia in the church is caused by homosexuality? A lot of people still blindly believe anything a religious man says...
