I would add a third point to the column. The associaion of pedophilia with gay men is incorrect. A majority of pedophiles are heterosexual, like the father of four in my neighborhood who is also a practicing Roman Catholic. The implication that pedophiles are gay reinforces homophobic prejudice while it mischaracterizes pedophilia. Why one wonders do so many straight RC men concerned about this problem seem to be ignorant about such a basic aspect of it? And why are so many Christians obsessed about sexual orientation when Jesus himself never addressed this aspect of human nature? It appears to me that they have been made stupid by their own prejudice.
