Child molesters who prefer children PAST the age of puberty are NOT paedophiles- they are child abusers- yes- but are called ephebiles or hephebophiles. The overwhelming majority of the victims were boys PAST the age of puberty. Up to 40% of Catholic priests are thought to be homosexual too, so it is no surprise the abuse took place. That being said, Bishops covering up the abuse is untenable. uniquelyme, uneducated one- post pubescent is defined from the age of 11 or 12 years old and upwards- according to most developed countries.

Homosexuals and pedophiles are very different. A homosexual is oriented to prefer sex with an *adult* of the same gender. A pedophile wants sex with a *child* -- some male, some female -- but they want sex with someone who hasn't reached sexual maturity yet. Also, to poster Sarah, the great majority of victims WERE pre-pubescent in the study she cites. Yes, Sarah, talk about IGNORANCE -- your own!: http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/PriestAbuseScandal.htm "The largest group of alleged victims (50.9%) was between the ages of 11 and 14, 27.3% were 15-17, 16% were 8-10 and nearly 6% were under age 7. Overall, 81% of victims were male and 19% female. Male victims tended to be older than female victims. Over 40% of all victims were males between the ages of 11 and 14."

The John Jay Criminal College- a NON RELIGOUSLY AFFILIATED college conducted research on the child abuse cases in the Catholic Church and concluded that 80% - 90% of the abuses were that of HOMOSEXUAL abuse of POST pubescent males. The great majority of the victims of abuse were not PRE pubescent (between the ages of 10 to 17 years old)- therefore the abuses were not one of paedophilia but pedastry or ephebolia. This problem is further exasperated as up to 40% of priests are thought to be homosexual, according to polls, therefore they are overrepresented within the Catholic Church. It has escaped only the blind that within the MALE homosexual community, there is a fondness for YOUNG barely legal males, called Chicken hawks. PS- There are homosexual ADVOCATE groups who have acknowledged the link between male homosexuality and child abuse in the Catholic Church. My gosh, the IGNORANCE on this site.

The real crisis is that the superiors of criminal priests conspired to cover up crimes, becoming accessories after he fact, that they re-assigned priests to new parishes where they could prey on a new flock, that the Church conspired to blame the victims.
