A very small percentage of priests are pedophiles, This is obvious anti-Catholic and makes unfounded claims and is very offensive. Just because a few priests f-ed up does not mean that all Catholic priests are pedophiles. There are many non catholic ministers that are pedophiles that no one hears about because being Catholic is a grave offense to those who have a low moral standard.

Child molestation has nothing to do with abstinence or being gay. A pedophile or child molester are mentally challenged individuals not necessarily a priest or a gay guy. People from all walks of life can be stricken with this mental anomaly.

89% of statistics are made up on the spot.

His entire 'argument' was an opinion, and is completely contradicted by real statistics.

Ill say the same thing to you that I said to Tugman

...The point of this debate is: The church (both Catholic and others) have upheld (successfully) this idea that gay people should be kept from children, and the great Irony is that there is more evidence for the idea of priests being kept from children than gay people.

I know that there are many fine people within the church and churches and I know it is a bit harsh to put these things in such a perspective but with it the church and churches are only getting a taste of their own medicine

and again the facts the movie presents have been reported by numerous sources and are not disputed

so people who molest little boys ONLY have access to little boys?

in prison, you're in a confined space. And this comes from the need for sex.

child molesters can go anywhere for children... the need for little boys themselves doesn't come from "well, they're easier to get to".

think about it. You wouldn't have sex with a tree if you lived in a forest.

the problem with these studies is that homosexuality can only be determined by the actions of the person, not by their "claims".

they can claim they're straight, but their actions (molesting males) says otherwise.

Im just pointing the movie out to ya if you might be interested. I know some documentary´s are very biased, but this one came out after all the court cases and major media attention. In it the priest who was the molester along with others is interviewed and the facts of the case are not disputed at all (not so that I have seen) The movie even won an Oscar :)

Its not like Im using an Alex Jones documentary about the Illuminati as an argument here

Like I said the facts of the case have been reported by numerous sources. The movie is just a good place to get in all in one package

The Bishop that did that is at fault but no the whole Catholic Church. Any priests that molest children should be given to the proper authorities and punished. Attacking all Catholicpriests because of a few bad apples is bad because it results in false stereo types which causes histeria and hate for no reason.

Guys who molest little boys are ALWAYS gay... Catholic Priest or not.

and there has been one case of a Catholic Priest molesting a little girl. But as for baby sitter... well, let's see:

If it's a girl, then i'll let it be a gay guy. If it's a boy, it won't matter either way.

99.9% of boy molesters (who were male) are not Catholic Priests. So it's actually less likely.
