I think the key here is to stop thinking of paedophillia as being "heterosexual" or "homosexual" and start thinking of it in terms of being a different thing altogether.</strong>

You make a good point about pedophilia perhaps being in a separate category than either hetero or homosexual. These are sexually deranged individuals who have compulsions which can be indulged in when they have access to children. The lust for children is particular madness.

I only brought up this issue because of the "spin" that our friend Amos has put on this thread. He seeks show that these priests are not real priests by declaring them all homosexual.

It was a good point you made sullster and I am also baffled by their "madness." I certainly have no answer as to why but I am kind of glad that no (?) little girls are involved.

If I made a twist it was done without purpose but I found the post by Brighid interesting and so I responded (I also wanted you to know that I read this tread).
