The moving van has arrived
Peace to all.
Getting into a lengthy discussion about the various merits of scapegoating homosexuals in general or sex addict priests in particular on Mark Shea's contentious blog and wishing to state for any transfers (or other observers) the following suggestions:
- Clergy sexual abuse is not solely a gay issue; it is about people who use their position of power to dominate, coerce, and destroy young lives.
- Having same-sex abusive contact with a child does not necessarily constitute homosexuality.
- Bishops who have knowingly sheltered predators are the biggest criminals.
A warning: my comment limit is 400 words. Please post consecutive offerings if you must, but try to be concise (as I have learned on more than one occasion).
