The primary cause of the great sex abuse scandal in the Roman Church is its decades long cover-up of the tremendous number of homosexual priests, bishops, archbishops, seminarians, & even a Pope. Some Roman Catholic authorities have estimated that as many as 50 percent of Roman Catholic priests & seminarians may be homosexuals. It is difficult to give an exact figure. The September 26, 2005 "Newsweek" reported that "The Rev. Donald Cozzen, in his book, "The Changing Face of the Priesthood" estimated that 23 to 58 percent of Catholic clerics have homosexual orientations." Other Roman Catholic books document the same such as RC priest Enrique T. Rueda's book "The Homosexual Network - Private Lives & Public Policy" (1982), Michael S. Rose's "Goodbye, Good Men - How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church" (2002), Randy Engel's massive 1310 page "The Rite of Sodomy - Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church" (2006) & others. These books were written by Roman Catholics, not Protestants.
First, a homosexual is not hte same thing as a pedophile. A lot of Catholic Priests have molested girls.
Secondly, yes, anyone who grew up Catholic can tell you most of the clergy were was queer as square donuts. This has to do with the fact a lot of Catholic families when they saw little Francis singing show tunes, they carted his ass off to a seminary.
This isn't any better than the Protestants, whose ministers are often so involved selling the Sky - Man fairy tale to the stupids that they neglect their own kids. Ever met children of Ministers? Most of them are spoiled as hell.
