Sick ass People! This isn't just happening in Catholic churches folks! WTF is a matter with people. With the technology we have today of craigslist and millions of dating and sex websites. WHY KIDS???
I suspect pedophillia is much more prevalent than we all suspect? told y'all again...the slippery slope is coming!
I don't see why this surprises anybody. If you were a Pedophile, what would you do? How about go join an organization that allows you unfettered access to kids. What do the boy scouts do? Exactly that. What do the girl scouts do? Exactly that. What do Churches do? Exactly that.
Of course, the Boy Scouts of America are largely sponsored by religious organizations, including Catholic (and Mormon, Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian) churches. It's not just a financial relationship, as the BSA bar homosexuals and atheists/agnostics. Their pledge includes "doing [one's] duty to God." While I am not suggesting that pedophilia goes hand-in-hand (or hand-in-anything-else) with religion, I do find it ironic that religious organizations generally seek to bar homosexuals from mentoring/teaching children while religious organizations are continually rocked by pedophilia scandals.
There are a lot of pedophiles. Its society that tells us that it is wrong, but when it may in fact be "biologically" acceptable. Look at all the people getting caught from the Dateline NBC to the teachers to everyone. Slippery slope is what it means. As society gets more "progressive" and accepting of these alternative lifestyles/sexual deviations, perhaps in 20 years, there may be movements for pedophillia rights.
