I wanted to find more info on this retreat, but went ahead with the provocative title of this thread anyways (as is often the spirit of this politics and society section)

Must agree with you on the bishops and priests choice of boys, almost exclusively, but that discussion will have to wait for another time

no Del just believes that Homosexuals are pedophiles. Good luck with that discussion.

No I just don't buy into the apparent fact pedophiles have no gender preference. I know there are probably more than 100X of abuses involving hetros specifically adult males and young females but the problem in the Catholic Church has little to do with society in general. I know it's far from politically correct since the vast majority of offenders are in the minority, statistically.

as usual i'm not really sure what you're trying to say since you post in some sort of weird private language that comes off as mumbly gibberish and i can only guess at the ideas lurking underneath.

i think there might be a fallacy in your logic but i'm not actually sure since you seem to be talking out of both sides of your mouth simultaneously.

are homosexual's more likely to be pedophiles than heterosexuals? if you believe that, what's the evidence that led you to that conclusion?

I would say that homosexuals and heterosexuals are equally likely to be pedophiles. That said because there are far more heteros in the country/world, incidents involving them would be far greater, in proportion to their numbers. I just think the pedophile who has victimized both genders is far more rare than those that have targeted a single gender.

What's happened in the Catholic church is unique and needs to be treated as such. Those same bishops and pastors who gladly accepted money every Sunday and every other chance they got while either participating, covering up or looking the other way need to pay back to the victims EVERYTHING they collected.

I agree with you that most priests seem to like little boys.

but that contradicts the accepted theory that pedophiles are not gender specific ?

I think this is a matter of availability....priests in general have more access to boys than girls.

That definitely is a factor especially in the case of all boys high schools. However once past puberty I'm not sure a pedophile would still be attracted. I also find the fact that pedophiles can not only distinguish their sexual preference but also display it through symbols on jewelry etc. flies in the face of the accepted theory they have no gender preference. I'm just glad law inforcement hasn't accepted it.
